So i chose the music video of Ariana Grande’s Into You to analyse and present to the class. I chose it because first of all I like her music, I like her fashion sense and i remembered how much i’ve enjoyed watching this music video in particular.

I’ve already talked about everything in my presentation so in this blog i’d like to just point out what i found most interesting about this music video piece.

First of all the storyline. The romance between Ariana Grande and her guy are every girls fantasies. She is a famous celebrity in an unhappy relationship with her jerk boyfriend also seems to be a celebrity and there’s her smoking hot bodyguard to protect and love her. (Their occupations of such are only found out by the audience in the end which i thought was very clever.) They runaway across the dessert arriving at this motel called the Honey Moon Inn where they can’t take their eyes and hands off of each other. The whole running away with my bodyguard to a motel in the middle of the desert definitely gives out a sort of star crossed lovers vibe which i think appeals to a wide range of females.

Secondly i like the colour scheme of the music video. The pink lightings and soft colour grading which looks like they used an overlay with a pink tone sets a romantic mood to the whole movie. It also looks very consistent. It provokes a dreamy, young, and super romantic warm feeling to it.

Thirdly watching this music video, i realised that the acting by the characters was one of the main reasons what made the mv so good. They had really good chemistry between them and they looked so comfortable and natural with each other as if they were a real couple. I think this is important and when filming my own music video, i will make sure to bring that out of the characters and be able to capture it as nicely as in this music video.
