Style - Taylor Swift: 30 Second Analysis

This task involved us each individually choosing a music video and us analysing the first thirty seconds. I chose Style by Taylor Swift as it is quite a visually appealing music with lots of cuts and transitions within the first 30 seconds. 

Below the whole music video can be seen:

I made a powerpoint to analyse the first 30 seconds of the video by screenshotting each shot - there were 19 different cuts in the first 30 seconds.




I learned a lot from this task. Firstly, how much work goes into not only making but editing the videos. I learned that much footage must be lost in the process and how many locations you have to film in. It made me realise how much time I am going to have to allocate to editing during the preliminary task and the actual task.
