Taylor Swift

Tim Mcgraw

• The video begins by following a run down Chevrolet as it drives down a long country road. By having the miss en scene of an southern countryside we are already witnessing conventions of this genre.

• She then lies on the grass, next to a pond as she sings her song playing with an old fashioned radio. This iddlic setting of a pond surrounded by grass is also typical of the country genre.

• The interior of the truck is also vintage and run down with an old fashioned radio inside which keeps to the slightly vintage look of a country video.

• As the truck drives, it is surrounded by trees and greenery on a sunny day. We also see pans of meadows and other greenery.

• In amongst the meadows there is a wheat meadow which is filled with dried grass and other farmed crops.

• In this wheat field we then cut to Swift and a male figure walking through holding hands, often in a country video we see a narrative.

• A recurring shot through out the video is of Swift lying next to a barn playing her guitar. The barn and guitar are both conventions of a country video, however as she plays the guitar this also leads to the assumption she is an organic artist. • Later we see the couple carrying on the narratives they sit in the bad of the truck as they stare at the stars, comforted by blankets and pillows.

• As the narrative is carried on we see Swift hugging the male character as they are surrounded by trees and blue skies. She were a frilly orange top with light denim jeans. He wears a checked shirt over a white t-shirt matched with denim jeans.

• The setting of Swift playing outside a barn is brought back later, but this time is a much closer shot. The idea of her playing a guitar is reinforced, showing her as a organic artist, once again.
