A camera shot is moving slowly down a corridor going into an empty room, when the camera turns to the left you can see what seems to look like pictures with Justin Bieber on them. Then it slowly starts moving closer and closer to a empty picture,then it goes into a picture where we can see Justin Bieber 's body in a dark room then it gets lighter as he starts to sing then you can see is face. While Justin is singing after a while the camera slowly starts to get closer to him,it then gets to a point where the camera is at a close up.

The next shot you can see a paintbrush going into a paint pallet where the brush goes into the black paint then is pressed down on a black page. The shot after is a close up of Justin where paint is going up his neck and going onto into his face. 
It then goes to a mid shot of Justin standing there in a mid shot where the paint progressively goes over more of his body and fills the rest of the background. every second it goes to a new picture of Justin in the same position, same picture but just different painting on them, it goes on for 14 seconds. It then goes to a time lapse of people in the empty room at the beginning of the video to loads of people in it drawing on the pictures of Justin Bieber. There is a Birdseye view of where you can see in the room and whats going on, there is shots of people painting on pictures then it goes towards the pictures on the wall again then it goes into Justin dancing where every second different pictures around him change but he still dances, this lasts for 24 seconds where then the light picture starts to go dark. It then cuts to a black screen for a few seconds then a close up of Justin singing. 

The camera then starts to track up Justin's hand where a painting starts to show, then it goes to his other side but his arm starts to track up with painting starting to show on it, the paint then starts to go up his neck and onto his ear. Then we can see a mid shot of Justin's back where paint is all over it and the camera starts to get closer towards. Then there are different shots of Justin's body where there paint is starting to fill up his body. Next there is an extreme close up of Justin's eye where it looks like paint is dripping from his face.

Then is goes to a picture of Justin standing there is arms in the dark where every second a different picture is on Justin and around him, this goes on for around 23 seconds then it resumes but its Justin dancing not standing still, lastly it cuts to a black screen and the music video stops.
