Music video one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb2stN7kH28

Taylor swift: Our song, Taylor Swift:

The song begins on a extreme close up of a persons feet, we see that she has bight coloured nail polish on, the next shot is a pan across her body, this helps us to establish that the person in the video is a woman, she has bight coloured cloths on welcoming the viewer. We then have a long shot of the woman; we see her whole body and see that she is on the phone. It looks as though she is sat on the grass lent up against some sort of table. We have a lot of shots of make up and dressing tables in which allows us to see that she is very careful with her appearance and likes to look good. The woman is wearing bright make up on her eyes, making her look pretty this is a traditional representation of women. We see a lot of close ups and mid shots within the first half a minute of the video. She is wearing a purple dress which again allows us to see that she is a very feminine woman. The shots used are often the same not making the video to complicate. There is no dancing just singing and looking at the camera. The shots are not shot and last about 4 seconds each. In this video there are no performance shots again making the video easier to make.

Jessica Simpson: with you

The video opens with a wide rang of shots of the main artist cleaning the room. There are a lot of close ups, she is wearing the same outfit and singing at the camera, she is wearing a white top and jeans she looks very casual. This again is a traditional representation of a woman; she is stood in the kitchen which are often not seen in a music video. In this video there are far more performance shots, there are photos of the girl singing the song and the boy she is singing about, there are also clips of her looking at cloths. The woman is very pretty and is a traditional representation of a woman, the woman is not wearing much make up, making her look naturally pretty and welcoming, the song isn’t to fast and has well positioned shots to match the pace of the music.
