"I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift: BRILLIANT!!!

Hello beautiful people! Once again, welcome! I'm hoping you are liking what I'm posting and I hope you tell your friends about this blog and follow it...

Well, today I'm actually really excited about this post because I got the opportunity to write and say everything I liked about Taylor Swift's video (I think this post will be a little bit longer than the others). I'm a super fan of hers to be honest, but I swear I don't think her videos are always good. In this case I chose one from her most recent album (RED) because this video is RAD! 

I actually didn't completely get the song until I saw the video. Her lyrics talk about someone who she falls in love with but he wasn't never really that into her, or at least that was I understood when I first heard the song, after seeing the video... Well, let's watch it and you'll get me:

Okay... In this case the video is the catch, or at least it seemed like that to me because everything in this video is PERFECT. Let's start with the photography:

I loved the fact that the video is made with a panoramic format. The scene seems long but not so tall which I must say is kind of difficult to work with because everything is about editing and at the time you are filming it, you must be super careful about what you are planning to cut. But well... Taking the basic stuff I said in my past post, Taylor is always in the right place:

It seems like the photographer is pretty good because even when she or anyone in the video is in movement, the camera moves along with them and make them still be in the place they need to be:

If you watch the video really carefully you'll notice that the shades of colors change according to what happens. The director knows how to pick the colors and use them to create a story too. When she first meets him everything is clear, normal... 

And when they start to get closer the video turns a bit different. It starts getting a bit darker but with a super BIT of rays of orange:

She talks about "blew me to places I've never been", like saying he took her to another level and that's when we begin to see that the orange turns to RED because their relationship is going somewhere between passion and love:

But it also turns RED when they are getting too close to danger:

I do want to say she is a great actress too. You believe her desperation and pain:

The theory of the RED scenes is just like the metaphor she uses by the lightbulb. Everything was burning so bright that it might cause pain:

Just as she feels like losing him, everything starts to get colder, so they use blue:

And she starts to fall:

It gets darker for her:

But clearer when it comes to him:

And as she starts losing HERSELF it gets darker and even more RED:

Until she is completely lost and on the ground:

One thing that they got super right is that you don't need to watch the whole video to notice this.

At the beginning she is lost in the middle of nowhere knowing what happened but she is still confused, so the scenes aren't fully blue nor fully orange/red:

The flashbacks are in shades of blue, gray and turning darker because that was the way their relationship went:

I also want to mention the makeup and hair design. It is brilliant because even there you can notice how much she changed because of him.

She begins with cute shirts and her hair completely clean:

She ends up with lots of makeup in her eyes, the tips of her hair in a shade of pink and wearing his clothes:

People normally don't like this kind of mainstream videos because they think it is just about the fame of the artist and not his/her work. Let me tell you this video proved most of them wrong because even though Taylor Swift is the most public girl in the business, she showed us a great job in here full of experiences and the typical bad boy trouble we all have at some point in our lives.

I really don't get why this video didn't win as much awards as her past videos. This one is way better than the others.

Oh, BTW! The guy in the video is Reeve Carney and I should tell you he has a band too and he is really good. You should give him a try.

Anyway... This is all for today, loves. I hope you didn't find it boring, too long or so obvious. Leave a comment telling me about YOUR opinion and observations. And please, suggest me videos to talk about.

BYE!
