Music Analyse 2 - Taylor Swift- Love Story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E   - Taylor Swift - Love Story

There are a lot of camera shots that are used in this music video, of of them is a close up of Taylor Swift singing, this is very common in pop videos because the audience get to see the artist singing there song, and it makes the artist closer to the audience by doing this. As well as close ups, they also use medium shots in the music video. They do this so that the audience can see were they are and the location the actors are at, if they didn't use the medium shot then the audience watching the music video will be confused because of the different time eras within the video. There is also a lot of panning at the end when they are meeting up and when he's trying to find her, this is really clearly done in the music video because the audience can see the area and a wider view of the location. Addition they use a birds eye view of the two actors dancing together to show that there is something happening between them, and this is a good way to show it. They also have long shots of when they are at the ball, so that you can see the everyone dancing, then it goes into the birds eye view of the scene so that you see a different angle of the event.

The style of the music video is a simple narrative, the lyrics fits with the video, it tells the story of the actor past life and the audience get the personal feel of Taylor because she narrates it as well. The narrative has a beginning a middle and an end, and it tells a love story about the famous Romeo and Juliet story. The audience is for young teenage girls who want to find the perfect boyfriend, and want to fall in love and live happily ever after. And Taylor Swift does this really well.
