Chris Brown's "With You" was released on December 4th, 2007 in the USA and was the album's third single.
The music video matches the pace of the music itself, the pain in the song being illustrated by the travelling through the town at night via bus alone. When the beat becomes more prominent, the artist dances in the street, the secluded location of his seat on the bus making this very relaxed, much like the song itself.
I have included a screen shot of a guitar at a specific angle. I think this is a very good idea which I would like to include in my own music video. It also removes the audience from the emotion of the video itself, highlighting the instruments being used, making the audience aware of the acoustic element of the track.
I have also included some smaller shots of Chris Brown, throughout the music video, showing his tshirt to be different colours. Because of the way the colours change, fading quickly between about 4 different colours in one scene, it is very obviously special effects, this device adds interest to each short scene that he is dancing in, when wearing that top.

In one particular screen shot that I have included, Chris Brown is kneeling in the middle of the road, this is obviously green screen due to it being dangerous to do this and not being able to achieve the desired affect of blur with the car's lights. The singer, kneeling down, was filmed in front of a green screen, the background, run in fast motion to show the lights on the cars, was edited in afterwards, producing the effect of the lights speeding past a man kneeling in the middle of the road. I liked the idea of giving the foreground and the background two seperate time scales.
The fact that he's only thinking of one person, according to the lyrics, but only sees his other friends, makes the video reflect the song as skaters go past, there are other people around who he greets, but the girl only arrives at the end, his facial expression changes from dead pan to a smile. At one point he is kneeling in the middle of the road, showing helplessness, the lights rushing past, supposedly to represent cars, shows that time passes really slowly when he's not with the girl he wants to be with.
