Johnny Cast Hurt Music Video

Starts off with his house in a semi dark location with a guitar on a chair as if playing accapella so you can hear the emotion. With his possessions around him shows his sad and lonely despite the wealth. It then cuts to the American flag the American dream a proud American and how he feels that he is not a proud American. There is footage of the museum of Cash which has a closed to the public sign he could be there performing or his old house his moved out of which goes with the line "and you could have it all" giving away the past because it means nothing to him now. "Everyone i know goes away" shot of mother he feels sad she has gone they must have had a good relationship. Also his Friends have died over the years in his life and he feels he is just waiting for himself to die. Archive footage of him singing in the prison which he previously did. There are close up of smashed records, that he doesn't care and no one else does. His career means nothing to him now it only brought him sadness. Footage of him visiting his childhood home when he was younger smiling because he still enjoyed his life then it was still early in his career he still had most of his Friends and family, he was enjoying what the fame brought change, money and the girls living his fantasy. the lighting is bright in the archive footage to show his happiness because it was not edited to look darker. He must have been well off because 18mm was rare in those times.



The table is layed out with a feast, the dinner table is associated with family and socialising but it is empty he has material goods but no one to share it with. A picture of him and his wife in the past and them now, the room is brighter like he is the light of his life the only thing still giving him something to live for it is a low angle shot as if to give off a sense of pride. Some family footage to show what is important to him and stuff he does not mind remembering from the past. Montage with clips and also things that relate to the words he is singing. There are words which overlap some of the song ... Then as he shuts and strokes the piano it is like he is saying good bye to an old friend but not sad to see it go because the light gets brighter, it is end of a era the closing of his career.
