Music Video: Always- Bon Jovi

This music video is described as a narrative because it is telling a story. At the beginning, a boy and girl fall for each other and are dating. Later on, the girl walks into the bedroom to find her boyfriend cheating on her. She leaves and while she is sad on the street, a guy finds her and decides to paint her. Later on, the guy who cheated on the girl comes into that room with the painting and sees the painting. He immediately gets mad because the painting is nude, thinking the girl cheated on him, even though he already cheated on her and lost her. The girl leaves and as he walks out, the guy sets the apartment on fire. At the end you can tell the guy regrets cheating because he lost the love of his life and he will "always" love her. The mise-in-scene that was used was apartment buildings and a bedroom. Extravagant costumes were not used, just normal clothes. The expressions the actors and actresses used were mainly sad, especially at the end. Some of the music video was spent fighting but at the beginning it started off with a couple madly in love. The concept this music video taught at the end was that your choices matter. The guy never thought he would get caught cheating, but his desire for one night made him lose the love of his life. The music video kept going back to the narrative story telling part and then back to the artist playing the guitar and singing.
