The music video i need a dollar is based on telling a story therefore it is narrative due to the story it has behind it.The storyline of this music video conveys the character within the story as someone in need of money in order to survive.It seems as if the character is living a hard life as he seeks for things to do in order to earn a living.
This is a narrative music video however it is also filmic as it is split into two parts(with aloe Blacc singing and the other screen putting the story into actions.)The overall look and feel of the music video is compassion as the story shows a person leading a life that is not worth living.
The emotions that you get from this music video are sadness,sorrow and unhappiness due to the story conveyed in the music videos and the powerful lyrics that relates to the video.The character within the story of the music video has inexpensive clothing and no make up to show that he is in need for money therefore fulfilling what is said in the lyrics of the song.This music video has a good background of a piano and a message that some people can relate to.
It also consists of a funk/soul band and smooth vocal therefore making the lead vocals by aloe blacc to go on with the background.This makes the song sound fresh and vibrant.Overall the song has a smooth melody and this is backed up by Aloe Blacc's unique tone.Even though its a backtrack of what used to be done it sounds fresh and modern.
