2. The video opens on a mid-
long shot of Jepsen, and a
male can be seen walking in
the background of the
frame. It then cuts to an
extreme close-up of
Jepsen’s eyes – proving to
audiences that she’s
watching him. Jepsen
begins to sing in a mid close-
up, and her attraction to the
male character is made
evident by her performance:
she fans herself, then is
embarrassed when he looks
at her.

3. The video then cuts to a different location:
herself and her band rehearsing the song in the
garage. This setting includes frequent close-ups
of band-members playing their instruments, and
the use of fast-pace cutting between shots
allows the editing to be in sync with the music.
Cross-cutting is used between the male
character, and Jepsen performing in both long
shots and close-ups. The use of high-key lighting
enables the video to have a happy tone – which
therefore matches the mood of the music heard.

4. The camera tracks towards the
male who can be seen fixing his
car, while audiences watch as the
camera tracks out in a long-shot of
Jepsen being forced by her band-
members to wash the car. She
continues to sing as she watches
the male, with cross-cutting still
being used of Jepsen performing in
the garage. It then cuts to Jepsen
washing the car in the background,
with the male to the right of the
frame in the foreground, but out of
focus – drawing audiences view to
her trying to attract the male’s
attention. To prove he hasn’t seen
her, a focus-pull is used: putting
Jepsen out of focus, and him in
focus, representing he isn’t paying
any attention to her.

5. Jepsen continues to try for his attention as she sings –
which is seen by audiences in mid-shots by the car,
and close-ups and long shots in the garage. Jepsen
finally gets his attention, only for her to fall onto the
floor. Then an effect has been edited in to signify
Jepsen starting to dream of her and the male
together. An over-the-shoulder shot from the male’s
perspective shows Jepsen acting out the dream, then
it cuts to what appears a point of view shot from
Jepsen’s view as she begins to wake up; the male
character looking down at the camera goes from out
of focus to in focus – another use of focus-pull.

6. Jepsen and her band perform the rest
of the song in front of him, and once
they finish, audiences see Jepsen
walk over to him in a long shot, then
in a close-up writing her number. The
video then cuts back to the same
long shot, and the male is seen
walking towards a male band-
member, and giving him a piece of
paper. In an over-the-shoulder shot,
it’s revealed the paper had the
male’s number on it, the camera
tracks up to display the member’s
shock. From the male’s performance,
it is evident that he is attracted to the
band-member, rather than Jepsen,
who is seen in the centre of the
frame, in the background of the long
shot. The video jump cuts to her
expressing her disappointment and
shock, until the video fades to black.
