Music Video Review

For this blog post, I am reviewing and analyzing the music video "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. I think the story and meaning behind this song is really great and is told really well from the music video. Some of the lyrics in this song are about just being yourself and forgetting about the haters and what other people think of you. So I'm the video it was showing Taylor dancing as a ballerina, a hip-hop dancer, a cheerleader, contemporary dancing, etc. and this went perfect in the video because it just showed that she can be or do whatever she wants to because she is her own person and she doesn't care what other people think, which is exactly what the song is saying. There were a lot of great things in this video that I would apply to my own work. For example, how what she's singing matches like the dance moves she's doing. Just making sure what is being said and what is happening goes together is very important in a music video and something I'll definitely apply myself. There were a lot of great things done in this video, like the variety of shots used and the variety of things happening in the video was just enough to keep viewers interested but not get them confused on what is going on. Theres really nothing that I can critique or say needs improving in this video, considering it's professional, but it was very well done and I will keep in mind everything i learned from this video to my current and upcoming projects.
