Joshua Radin is an american folk singer/ song writer who was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio witch explains the folk origins. His songs have been in many of Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol and One Tree Hill. his songs have also appeared on over 75 films and television placements. Brand New Day is from the album Simple Times witch is his second studio album, it was released on the 9th September 2008 on iTunes.
What Josha Radin has done here in this video is to be ironic and sarcastic in the actions in the video. The lyrics are very happy as well as the chord patterns but the video shows him being robed, hit by a car and beaten up but with a funny ironic feel to it, so when he gets hit in the face with his guitar and falls off the chair the lyrics sing " you have to fall in order to mend". The relationship between narrative and performance is very strong with this video, Steve Archer in media magazine drew attention to the importance of this relationship. The aspects of his video that we would like to put into ours is the ironic feel and the way people act as if hes a ghost.
Some of the shots used in this video are very well composed and I think they really help emphasize the irony in the video and the funny aspects. shots like close ups, crane shots and panning shot.
