For this task I was required to complete a detailed analysis of a music video I chose the song I was going to analyze from a group of options. I chose to analyze Wildest dream by Taylor Swift. I’ve heard many of Taylor Swifts songs in the past so I thought it would be a goof and interesting song to analyze and to watch one of her videos from a media perspective. I knew that what analyzing this music video I would be looking our for key conventions such as, genre, MES, narrative, performance, star image and many more. I then wrote down the things I found and saw and  filled in  the table shown below.

In conclusion, this task was use full and I feel widened my skills of analyzing. It allowed me to watch a music video I hadn’t seen before and look at it in a new way and to think more in detail about what is going on within the music video as well as looking at the MES used. I’d never looked at music videos in this way before, this will help me when it comes to creating my own music video as now i have an understanding on how to do this I understand the different conventions in music videos, how they are created and the meaning behind them. It has helped me in deciding if I want my music video to be amplified, disjunctive or illustrative and what each of these look like.
