Comparing our video to Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has made many music video's for her songs, so naturally we used her video's as inspiration. Taylor Swift's video to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together features Taylor in her pyjamas at home, we have also used this as the scene we filmed in the bedroom has the sisters in their pyjamas too. However unlike ours Taylor wears bright colours and the room behind her is also bright for example the bright red cusion and bright blue chair. Taylor is also promoting her album 'Red' which this song is featured on, as the bright red lipstick has been a trademark for the promotional sale of the album. We aren't promoting an album in our video so we have no need to do this.

Taylor also uses elements of the abstract in We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together as her band are wearing fur suits and at the end of the video there is a knitted bird, this makes the video funnier to watch and makes the audience duoble-take at the unusual clothing choice. The fur suits also have nothing to do in relation to the video - it's almost contradictory - in our video we also have contradicting video and lyrics coralation as the song is about being safe but safety and happiness is just a dream to the sisters.

Taylor also plays around with dreams in her song 'Picture To Burn'. She sees her ex-boyfriend with another girl who is driving his truck, he never let Taylor drive it whe they were dating. This trigures a dream sequence in which Taylor dreams of trashing his apartment in revenge. Although in our video the topic is different, there is a dream sequence where the sisters run away.
