Inspirational Music Video #22 - Out Of The Woods

Taylor Swift's video for Out Of The Woods compliments multiple ideas my group and i have had for our music video. To begin with, as the video starts, we see the protagonist standing looking out towards the ocean, then cuts to a close up shot of her in what appears to be a forest. This short section shows a huge amount of contrast between the clip, which i feel as a viewer keeps you intrigued and makes you keep notice. As the video continues, you see that the majority of the video is set in a forest, to add to the low key lighting of the shots. I love this setting as it creates a sense of mystery for the audience to find out where the protagonist is, which is something we are trying to portray through our music video. And finally, the match on action in this video is fantastic, which the change of background and scenery but to still have the movements match up well. This is shown at the end of the video mainly. We would like the idea of match on action in our video, as it would show our protagonists freedom throughout, that she is in more than one location but is still the same time frame, and by having the match on action, it would help represent this.
