Music video analysis

Daniel Caesar - We find love/blessed [official video] Analysis


Audience - The audience may be the adult/middle aged community due to the fact that the video itself is presented quite old and vintage-like despite being composed only 2 years ago. This suggests that the quality was inserted purposefully, since the technology would have been there to make it more modern and up to date.

Genre - The genre of music may be "Jazz" due to the type of instrumental and the : delicate, moving, sweeping and slow tempo of the artists voice and the instrumental.

Representation - The male character is portrayed as a gentleman and ultimately a happy person. This is clearly depicted when he is hugging the girl in the back of his car and they are laughing and having fun. (01:05). The female is also portrayed as happy too and overall confident with herself when she is enjoying the views and dancing out in the open. Free.
