Colbie Caillat's song Brighter than the Sun reflect Taylor Swifts style and is in the same genre as Taylor Swift, but it also features some of the things we want to include in our video. Caillat does what Taylor Swift does in her videos, and what we intend to do with ours. She has split the video into her lip-syncing and being part of the video, which is what we are doing in ours. There is also a main theme in Caillat's video which is of nature, she builds a room made of grass and appears in tropicalesque places (frame 9 below). We also have a main theme in our production which is the happy ever after (which is also featured in Caillat's lyrics).
I particularly like the framing of the whole video especially when Caillat is framed infront of the sunflowers, which helps reflect the idea of being brighter than the sun as sunflowers are supposed to reflect the sun and appear in summer.
There is also a shot of her on a swing where only she is in focus and the background is blurred, this allows the audiences attention to be focussed solely on her and the lyrics. She also appears to be very happy and carefree which reflects the lyrics. This shot is also like what we tried to do in ours as this is what we wanted for when the parents are fighting but we were unable to do it as the camera just blurred out everything.
