Pixxie Lott: All about tonight


At the beginning of the music video there is an establishing shot of a city, this allows the audience to get an insight into where the next scene will be taking place. The next scene is taken of someone walking down a street, the audience have not yet scene the whole setting of where the scene will be taking place. The scene is then showen, it looks like a deralict bridge and a area. This is where people this age are stereotyped to 'hang' around. The fact that Pixxie Lott is wearing black, along with everyone else gives off an eary edge as well s it being filmed in an eary place. This is effective as it keep the audience hooked to find out what is going to happen next. Her hair being white blond still shows an element of purity and innocence, which also keeps the audience hooked to watch.




Taylor Swift: You belong with me


At the beginning of the music video there is an establishing shot of 2 house's. The camera then zooms in to a teenagers bedroom(male) where he is on the phone and seems to be distressed. Across from the bedroom is another teenagers bedroom(female) whee she is reading a book looking across at the male. There is a typical teenage love story involved where the female being a 'Nerd' fancies the 'Cool guy'. This instantly hooks the audience as the feelings within the song are being acted out. This makes the audience want to find out wether they get together or wether her secret stays a secret. This music video is effective to its target audience as it is related to what normally happens around this age range, which is why they would want to watch the music video.
