Mine - Taylor Swift (Music Video)

This music video has a strong narrative that relates to the song directly. It shows the relationship between two lovers who follow the traditional love story of meeting and living happily ever after.

Sound/Music:
The main and only sound is once again the song for which the music video is advertising.
Dialogue - though not heard is readable from the expressions and from lip-reading.

Cinematography:
Long Shot, Slow Zoom In, Tracking Shot, Close-Up, Over-The-Shoulder Shot, Handheld, Frame-Within-A-Frame, Medium Shot, Profile Shot, Zoom Out, Upward Tilt, Downward Tilt, Eyeline Match, Reflection.

Editing:
Slow Motion, Cut, Shallow Depth of Field, Jump Cut (where the camera zooms without zooming), Colour Distortion (Sepia), "Memory" is distorted around the edges.

Mise-En-Scene:
Female - wears dresses to emphasise gender.
Male - good-looking and wears casual clothes.
Cafe, suggests small town as it's busy. American-based - nice weather and clean beach.
Kitchen is large - american style cooker and fridge.
Wood/Forest scene is when the female is singing the song.
Pictures displaying memories are used, hanging from the trees.

Lyrics that could influence my short film:
"You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables" - this could be where my protagonists in the film first meet because college is an easily accessible location for me to film.
"we were sittin' there, by the water? You put your arm around me for the fist time" - an idea for one of the dates. Water is also associated with peace and relaxing creating a romantic atmosphere.
"And every time I look at you, it's like the first time" - shows how in love these two are. This could be a line said in my short film.

Techniques I could use:
The photos hanging by threads which I think add more interest to the film rather than just a simple photo. It suggests that she's surrounded by happy memories.
Locations used for the dates to show how the relationship develops and they fall in love.
