The video editing ensures many emotions are shown through different events using camera boxes within shots. The effects create a slow feeling as shots dissolve, resulting in bursts of feelings and insights into how the characters are feeling. Compared to other romantic videos in the genre, this one stands out for not being a typical romantic video with wind-blown hair or black and white effects. The consistent bright lighting enables bright emotions and feelings to be easily expressed and understood by the audience. The simple props of an acoustic guitar and chair help keep the video close to reality by depicting real-life events like guitar playing and dancing, unlike unrealistic settings in other videos like Taylor Swift's "Love Story" which uses big castles and ballrooms. The video was also

2. The editing is done in a way to ensure many emotions are shown and different events.
At some points in the video we only see Chris playing the guitar and singing, but then
during these shots there is little camera boxes showing other events like Chris and Katie
dancing. The effects also create a slow feeling as the shots dissolve into others resulting
in a burst of feelings and an insight into how Chris and Katie are feeling at the
designated time of the shot. Compared to other music videos in this genre ours stands
out as it is not your normal romantic video, it is not set with wind blowing through the
hair or constant black and white effect. The lighting is also consistently bright to enable
bright emotions and feelings resulting in the expression easy to see which helps the
audience engage with the characters and understand their feeling. The props that were
used are just an acoustic guitar and a chair, this helps keep the video close to reality as
there are not big settings and real life events such as guitar playing and dancing, in
comparison to Taylor swift love story un realistic settings are used such as big castles
and big fancy ball rooms. Also a budget was given to the artist and we done it voluntary
without any money at all. Which adds to the reality of the video.

3. Taylor swift- love story Our video
As you can see these shots show similarity to our video as they are both
people who want to be with each other, and theirs eyes are glued to each
other. In both video you can see the emotion and feeling being created by
eye contact of each character.

4. In contrast with each other the dancing scenes are very different in regards to
setting, costume and dancing style. The setting of Taylor Swift- Love story the
dancing scenes are set in big ball rooms which are very formal, although in our
video the dancing is set on a stage there is no body else around and the stage is
completely empty, again highlighting reality in our video, on top of this the
costumes are completely different, Taylor swifts are all big forma; dresses and
suits where as our video is casual clothing and relatively natural which leads to
the style of dancing, the dancing in Taylor Swifts is very rehearsed and planned
whereas ours is natural and flows. In addition to this you can feel a romantic
atmosphere in the air with our video but in Taylor Swifts it looks as though it is
in a competition and they are being judged.

5. Finally we did use the conventions to develop
and enhance ideas for our own video, however
we did challenge some conventions as a lot of
videos are make believe ideas where as our
video is all about the reality of the situation
and what responses people would make when
coming face to face with these sorts of events.
