The video begins with a man running down a street leaving the audience questioning where he is going. He seems to be in a hurry and eventually arrives at a house which is on fire. This is an established exposition as it sets the scene and introduces the tone of the music video

'My Hero' follows a narrative like structure, agreeing to the theory proposed by Tzvetan Todorov. It has a clear beginning, middle and end with the theme of a hero throughout as a man  saves various things from a fire, linking in to the title. The band are shown performing within the environment of the fire with the main focus on the lead singer. The setting stays in the same house following the hero inside and out.

I would say that this music video is an example of amplification as it takes the title and creates a theme from it. The featured man makes an origami bird from the heart and when he goes on his journey it follows him everywhere. However it doesn't go word by word with the lyrics so it is not illustration. There is also a theme of birds running throughout the music video and that links to the bands name 'Birds of Tokyo', also connected by the origami as it is a Japanese form of art, and the cover of the album which is an origami bird.

The theme of a bird running through it could symbolise the freedom the man desires. The freedom could start as an idea or a mere fabrication made from the mans desires, hence the origami bird being made. It follows the man on his journey tying in to the title 'I'd Go With You Anywhere'. It is seen ahead of him in some shots where it is visible suggesting that it is leading him to his destination. It leads him out of the claustrophobic city, with the effect of being cramped made by using close ups in a small apartment and filming down narrow streets, and takes him to wide open areas isolated from society also giving the sense of freedom. When the man finds the suitcase he opens it releasing hundreds of birds, this could be connoting how he has finally been set free and he is basking in the feeling of freedom as he watches the birds dance in the sky. As they disperse he is no longer visible possibly suggesting that he has found what he wanted and has moved on.

As the ending approaches the man has disappeared from shot and the flocking of birds can still be seen dancing through the sky. The flock of birds then disperses out of shot symbolising the end of the music video.

The man observes the flocking of the birds and they are seen to dance around the sky for a while. This slows down the pace and begins to ease the audience into the ending.

As the man slows down the destination becomes clear as he approaches a suitcase lying in the middle of nowhere. He is seen picking it up and opening it releasing hundreds of live birds. The audiences questions are answered and they can then look further into the symbolism and representation behind the video.

As the man travels further into the more rural, wild areas he begins to pick up the pace, eventually running. He is running down a deserted road before veering off the track into isolation. The origami bird flies in and out of shot as he is running, still following the man. The audience are still unaware of the destination or its purpose and the curiosity is rising as his pace speeds up and the setting becomes increasingly sparse.

To begin with the video depicts a man making an origami bird, the setting is small apartment in a built up city. He begins to walk out of the building and down narrow streets with an unknown destination in mind. A shot of the bird flying with the man is seen and is presumed that it is following. As an audience we are left questioning where the man is going and why.

The music video to 'Birds of Tokyo's 'I'd Go With You Anywhere' adheres to Todorov's narrative theory where a video contains an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement. This video clearly demonstrates a beginning, middle and end with a theme running throughout which is birds. The main focus is on the lead singer as he is the man shown in the narrative and there are shots of him singing in similar locations spread throughout the music video.
