Chris brown's 'next to you' video begins with dialogue and two elated couples who seem deeply in love with one another. This initial equilibrium is immediately interupted by disaster when the female characters are taken away from their lovers. This alternation continues throughout the video when the audience are brought to an almost post-apocalyptic scene of the world; showing cracked concerete and broken buildings. Thunder storms are also shown in the sky to exaggerate the upsetting ambience. Spectacles of fire and people running around in panic is also shown as the female character attempts to re-uinite with her 'soul mate'. When the woman is seen being hit by a car, the imagery slows down completely corresponding to the music as the camera slowly zooms in to the artists face. At the end of video, the couple is shown back together, sealing their love with a kiss. On the Macro, this video is a typical love story with a huge twist in the middle... not so typical now.
