Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me Video


This video is a Amplification as the performance and narrative are connected and the lead singer becomes part of the narrative which tells a story. The lyrics and sound are country and it uses creative ideas when it comes to showing the story of the song to the audience. There is a direct link between the song title and the lyrics as it describes the song very well. The narrative is loose as its simple to get and understand it is well played out in the video by using the same person for two different characters which best describes the music video. The main beat to the song is the song that sets the main mood as well as a bit of drum in the background giving it more of an up beat tempo. The performance uses lip sync through the video but only on the blonde girl showing that its her song about her feelings also the camera uses a lot of long shots and close ups of the girl and the boy she likes that makes the lyrics clear. The camera movement uses hand held to get close to the expressions of their faces and body language also the dolly track as it follows the lads playing football getting the whole scene into one shot. The editing goes through the video in order jumping from the two girls and the different styles they have. The lighting is Expressive lighting which is a key feature to make sure you are able to see the main characters well. The Mise-en-scene is in an america football game at school showing different types of groups.
