Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield Music Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gte3BoXKwP0 Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. This video is 3:01 minutes long.

 Music video starts out with a guy doing spray paint and a kid coloring at home while his parents are auguring. In the beginning the music video takes place in a corporate office setting. There are a few parts where they zoom up on the singer in the same outfit and  setting singing the song. She jumps out of the office building with a parachute. When the singing is falling through the sky it looks fake. I think they could have made it a little bit more realistic.   Between 50 and 52 seconds the singer changes outfit in the middle of the sky, but it doesn't actually show her changing outfits. After she lands on the roof a lot more people fall from the sky and land on the roof too. The extra people take off their parachute and start dancing. At 1:17 minutes the singer changes outfits again. They show the spray paint guy break through the wall on to the roof. The singer goes back and forth between multiple outfits.  They show the little kid again covering his ears because his parents are arguing. The kid shows up on the rooftop with the singer and dancer. The singer starts floating up towards the sky in a giant pink flower. I'm not crazy about her dance moves in the flower. It ends with the singer in the flower looking down on the kid.

I really like the beginning of the story. I think a lot of people would feel the same way. That they want to get away from their office setting, work, or home, or go someplace else. I like how the singer opens up the office window and jumps out, but I wish her falling from the sky was more realistic. The timing of the song and the scenes went well together. I like the costuming of the singer, but I thought it was random that she changed her outfit in the middle of a piece. She went from professional to causal and fun outfit and that worked well with the song. Her acting was good in the beginning. I don't like music videos where the singers sing the whole time (you actually see them singing). I thought this music video had a good balance of singing parts and non singing parts. There is a part of the song where it says, "there's are only butterflies." When she sings that she releases a whole bunch of red butterflies, I like that part. There are some scenes where it matches the song's words, but the whole video isn't like that, which is good. I thought this was a pretty well done music video.
