The name of the track is 'Just the way you are'. The Artist/Director of the video is Bruno Mars. The genre characteristics of this video are realistic fiction, as it is based in modern times and the characters involved in the video look like what is happening in the video could actually happen to them and that the events taking place in the video could actually happen as well. There are lots of relationships between the music and the visuals, for example he has used the inside of a cassette to make shapes on the table that link to the lyric. He is singing about the girl he is withs hair and the tape from inside the cassette is drawing the girl and how her hair is and they way that Bruno Mars likes her hair. There are alot of close ups of the star as he is a solo artist so he is trying to promote his image. In this video he has made himself the 'nice guy' which links into the lyrics of the song. In the video, even though Bruno Mars is looking at the camera you still get the feeling that he is looking at the girl who is in the video with him. There are no intertextual references in this video as it is his own video where he has used his own ideas. In this video it is performace based as he is playing the piano in it but it is mainly narrative based. Its about half and half but he is singing to the girl sitting in the room with him telling her how much he likes her.
