-Johnny Cash : Hurt

Hurt, released in 2002, is a music video performed by Johnny Cash. The video begins with a collouge of separate videos that work as a timeline for his personal history. On the screen's view, tob and bottom, there are words that further express how things were then and how they have advanced to become what they are today. The collouge of videos and words eventually leads to the main screen shot of Johnny Cash, as an older man, dressed in black. He is sitting in his house singing"Hurt" and playing his black guitar.
Throughout the video it goes form Cash playing his guitar to the memories he experienced as a younger man. In these shots when Cash is by himself the color of the camera goes to black and white. This occurs when Cash is in Jail, conducting the train, playing his show, and also the flood. On the other hand, the color shots tend to be of him when he's with other people.. This possibly can mean that when Cash was by himself his life was more bold and when Cash was with others he felt more cheerful.
The colors of the music video greater helps to en-capture the emotion as well as provokes the thoughts of the viewer. There is one shot where in the room in which Cash is playing the song it is dark and outside it is a bright and sunny day. This portrays that Cash's days are coming to an end and that life in the outside world is blossoming. This idea can possibly be why Cash is hurt.
