Jesse Mccartney- How do you sleep analysis

Jesse Mccartney- How do you sleep

Before Jesse Mccartney became a solo artist, he was apart of a boy band called Dream street till 2002. In which the group earned a gold record with their debut cd. Hes first solo song whoch took him 2 years, was called "Beauitiful soul". Since then he has released a number of songs including "How do you sleep". As well as singing he is also known for hes acting and song writting. In which he co write with Ryan Tedder from One Republic, the massive hit " Bleeding love" for Leona Lewis. Which was a massive hit. Meanwhile he stared in many programmes and films including the childrens programme "Hannah Montana" and the film "Keith", which he played the main role. Over all Mccartney has been nominated and for a number of awards, and he has been successful. For example he has gained "Teen choice awards" on a number of seperate occasions.



The type of genre which Mccartney often produce are pop/ urban. Which is popular with a number of people. Jesse target audience is females, espically teenagers, this is because many teenage girls like him and hes looks, that they will listen to hes music. The image he has is of this teenage cute boy, which as stuck with him for a number of years. As the years g on he is coming out of the look and turning into a hansome young man.



My first impression of this video is its good its affected and the lyics go with the video that has been produced. There is also a story line to it. Which i think its about hes split up from hes girlfriend but he cant stop thinkng about her, and that now hes trying to either find her or get away from her by travelling in the car on a motor way out in nowhere.



The setting is on a motor way out in nowhere which fits in with the storyline because hes trying to get her our of hes mind, so he gets in the car, which is the main prop used in the video, and just drives. The clothes he wears are casual, which any one would normally wear. Also hes wearing glasses which hes trying to give the impression that hes cool ,and it make him look like hes hiding hes true feelings.



Within this video many stright cuts are used to get from one place to another. In the middle of the video a lot of stright cuts are used to show Maccartney and then show Ludacris.



The video promotes the song because it helps give the songs some speed and it helps to tell the story, because it shows Jesse keep looking at a picture of this girl. Which without the video you wouldnt relised how much hes expressing hes feelings. Also it has promote the artist because he sold many of hes cds.





This is the cd cover for the album. The cd cover produce is linked to the video because its a picture of him sitting in hes car with hes glasses on which is in the actual video. The coverlp to promote hes image because he look cool and that hes thinking. Which actomacticlly promotes hes song because its about hes feelings.
