Analysis of Music Videos

Title: Find Your Love by Drake
Song / Video Duration: 3:29 / 5:47

Synopsis: The video for the song is about going and looking for love in all the wrong places and despite knowing that he could die doing this but he will do it anyway. The video is set in Jamaica. It starts with text on the screen then to a shot of Drake being warned by a elderly man about staying away and out of trouble when his music should be his number one priority. For the rest of the video it follows Drake as he goes looking for this girl. About half way through the music stops and goes to a dialogue where the gangster that "owns" the girl who Drake is in love with as they beginning to plot against him. As the video is coming to its end you see him outside her house trying to call for her attention but is then surrounded by the gangster's henchmen. He then wakes up to being tied to a chair with the gangster and the girl looking at him with a bullet, she then walks around the back of him and as she is about to pull the trigger it ends with a cliffhanger and the words "Find" "Your" "Love", which are also the title of the song come on one at a time.
