Deconstruction of Taylor Swift, Teardrops On My Guitar

Taylor Swift
Teardrops On My Guitar
Country/Pop
3:38





The establishing shot is set in a highschool corridor, which is a popular scene for this genre. This is a good convention because this is the normal place someone of this particular genre would hang out and listen to this style of music. The clothing worn by the students in the shot are simple t-shirts and jeans/skirts which also tell us this is set in a school.
The CU shot of the singers face is another classic shot used by this genre. The lighting illuminates her face making it the more important in the shot. This shot is a popular shot used by this artist and many others in this genre and more genres.


The MS of the singer holding her guitar. The location looks to be in a bedroom, which is normally used by female artists. This shot somewhat defies stereotypes as more males than females play the guitar. The lighting is key lighting coming from the bottom right of the shot.

This MS of two people in a library is a shot that helps tell the story of th song.This is a convention to help get the target audience be attracted to the video; the attractive male in the video is a factor of getting the target audience - females aged between 14-19 to watch the video and listen to the music.
