Brad Paisley - When I Get Where I'm Going

This is one of my favourite music videos because because it is a personal song and the video and the words are touching.

The use of fades and dissolves represent the passing of loved ones and mirrors the words of the song.


The use of home footage at the end makes it more personal and effective.
The video has in time singing and actual instrument playing.

The backdrop for the video is a natural environment and it gives a calming and comforting feel to the song which suits the song as it is about a passing that wants to comfort friends and family left behind.

There are many camera angles alternating between high and low angles showing the singer as either vulnerable or brave and admired.

There is a direct eye line shot the emotion of the song, the use of flashbacks and photos of passed ones is effective because it provokes emotion from the audience and makes them thing about passed ones but in a positive light.
