Music Video Analysis

For some reason when I thought of this assignment, Taylor Swifts song, "Love Story", popped into my head. I remember it being such a story based video. Now that I look at it again, I see that it is a narrative, but I also believe it could be a little conceptual because the main girl in the video is forming concepts that this scenario could/did come true. The visual elements include pretty dull/ natural colors throughout the whole video. The light given is always noticeable. There is one outside and dark scene in the video that still shows a good amount of light for being outside. The video seems to produce the same 'shape' in the different angles of the video. Many are repetitive. I think the shape of the angles shown for us change towards the climax of the video, when Romeo comes back for Juliet. The change of angles and shape in the video relates to the change or twist in the story. Some key moments include the beginning, where you know that the female character is 'dreaming' about this scenario with her crush. Once they photograph the dream part, it has many different angles and views of the characters. They photograph close up, far away and close in, have views from below, above, and right next to the characters. The camera has a lot of movement. This story is very dramatic, therefore, dramatic and different camera angles help keep you intrigued on watching the video, as well as giving different perspectives throughout the whole thing. The video follows the song, especially in the time frame that the song lyrics are describing.

People say they always see me smile, can distinguish me by my long, curly hair, and my personality is all Notre Dame, so I had to wear an ND shirt.

Hi all, my name is Morgan.  Here is a little bit about me.  I love photography, Notre Dame, and baking.  I have ever since I was in high school.  Those 3 things (and of course always watching Netflix) are big hobbies of mine.  My favorite type of movies are any romantic comedies.  I always love something that will make me cry and laugh all in one.  Since I am currently a junior, my goal is to graduate on time within the next 2 years.  So far, I am on track!  I am interested in making media because currently, our world is surrounded by it.  To be apart of creating media for people to see, or working with the media that people view everyday, seems interesting and stable.  Many people feed off of media these days, and media can only continue to grow from here.  Media has created so many amazing images, stories, and ideas throughout the past few years, the thought of being someone who contributes to that seems important.
