2. Out of all the different genres of music we decided that pop is
our favourite because it had a wide variety of music videos and
artists. Out of all of these Taylor Swift was a popular choice as
her videos not only have a narrative to them but also have a
performance (some more of one that the other). This means
that when taking inspiration from her previous music videos to
create our own we are able to have a range of features to
include.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE AND WHY?

3. Pop music has a vide variety of artist and styles, this means
that it can sometimes be hard to decided on what is actually a
pop convention and what isn’t as different artist will include
different styles in their music videos. In addition to this,
sometimes pop music videos can look cheap/tacky is an artist
goes over the top with special effects…
WHAT DON’T YOU LIKE AND WHY?

4. As already mentioned out of the pop genre we like the artist
Taylor Swift and her style of pop music. Out of all her songs we
selected ‘Out of the Woods’ as it doesn’t already have a music
video. Meaning that when creating our own we will be able to
have an original idea. In addition to this we will be able to
include many typical conventions of a pop video by taking
inspiration from her previous videos and similar artist.
WHAT MIGHT YOU CHOOSE?

5.  Throughout her videos Taylor Swift has a variety of outfits
depending on the narrative of the music video. However, she
always wears her iconic red lipstick as her signature look.
 Costume wise, there tends to be a wide variety as some of her
videos plays on the American ‘girl next door’ look, e.g. ‘We
are never ever getting back together’ and ‘You belong with
me’. Others show off her fame and fortune, e.g. ‘Blank Space’.
ARE THERE COMMON COSTUMES?

6. Like the costumes in her music video, the locations in which her
music videos are set again depend on what kind of narrative
she is trying to get her song to portray.
In songs like ‘You belong with me’ and ‘Mine’ again they have a
‘girl next door’ feel to them. This means that in her videos
setting she is trying to portray really life situations and make
her seem normal and an everyday girl. However, in other videos
like ‘Bad Blood’ and ‘Shake it off’ there a lot more typical
conventions of pop music videos. E.g. Dance routines and
special effects.
