Narrative: In the see you again music video, it is clear that the song is dedicated to their friend (Paul Walker). Clips of them together is shown throughout the music video. This is also shown through the lyrics.
Theme: Some themes that can be seen in the video are: death, friendship, love, loyalty, nature and even spiritual.
Style: The style techniques used in the video was kept very simple. There was good use of lighting to help it look natural and simple. The camera angles zoom in on the artists then slowly zoom out to include the city skyline. The lighting, camera angles and still background helps the video have a calm/serene feeling throughout to keep the main focus on the message in the music video.
