Stand by Me

In the music video, I saw that the director used many different types of rhetoric in this case it was speaking or singing to get his message across. What he did was use many different individuals across the globe to sing the song Stand by Me.

His message was right in the song and where we shot it music video. No matter where you are in the world no matter who you are you will always need someone to help out or to be by your side. My making this video it even goes deeper into the mind of the director, because it shows that he even needs help or someone to stand by him while he made this video which took him 10 years to make.

Also, while watching this video it was very clear he wanted to use a very diverse group of people all over the world to show that it’s not just one person or a group of people, but everyone. In addition, making sure that it was all shot on the street and not one a set speaks that he wants to show it’s not about the money or where you’re at, but the message he is trying to deliver.   

To be quite honest I can’t pick just one image that impacted me the most because they all hit me pretty hard with the message and what they were doing with all the different type of voices and instruments. I think from this everyone needs to think as much as you think you can do everything on your own however, in reality you do need someone to help you out along the way whether it be now or latter on down the road.
