Also I think even though the director didn’t use that many switches and camera shots, I think by showing the characters facial expressions made the video simple however it makes it more entertaining for me because I find really sweet and cute. In the music video, I don’t think there are lots of switches and I think most of the camera shots are medium and some were zoomed in to the faces of the characters to see their reaction and facial expressions. I think this can make the audience fall in love more with the artist the fact that the video shows us what Bruno Mars can do more rather than just sing which also means that he can gain more fans as well as more people will watch his music videos and buy his records. Moreover, he also creates Nathalie Kelley’s face out of cassette’s media tape and then at the end, he plays the piano, which also shows us, the audience that he is also musically talented, that he can play the piano as well as sing. In the music video, the it shows the love story of a couple which shows how much Bruno Mars loves Nathalie Kelley and how he thinks she is perfect the way she is which basically links to the song, as well as she doesn’t need to change which also represents his feelings about her. The images looks very artistic as well as I think it makes the video and story cute which links to the lyrics and the meaning of the song which Bruno mars have said before from his previous interview that he wrote the song ‘Just the way you are’ to make all the girls feel beautiful and that no matter what with or without makeup, they’re beautiful just the way they are! Furthermore I think the used of the animation will attract more people to watch the video as it looks very artistic and interesting. After that Bruno creates image of a drum, on the table using tape media, Bruno Mars continued making images out media tape throughout the video, which also included the image of the female character which is his girlfriend in the music video which is also played by Nathalie with her eyes blinking and an image of Bruno Mar’s singing. The instrumental of the song begins in the background as Bruno Mars pulls the media out of the cassette tape and organize it on the table in to letters forming his name followed by the song title. The music video starts on with the actress Nathalie Kelley listening to “just the way you are” on her music player then Bruno Mars stops the music player and get the cassette out of the Walkman and makes images from media tape of the cassette on the table.

The lyrics of the song and music are visually mimicked to audience. The music video is filmed in both narrative and performance. Writer(s): Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Khalil Walton, Khari Cain
