Existing music video

Katy Perry - The one that got away
I have looked closely at this music video by Katy Perry, and explored the narrative in order to make more studies before filming my video. I realised after watching this, that there is a stronger narrative than the audio points out. 
There is a clear establishment between the happy and the sad moments of her life, and these are shown in very different ways. 
There are also 2 different time frames going on at the same time. This is one feature that my music video will have. The older parts which are set in the past have been filmed with a vintage effect, and a brown tint to them, but also a warming tone to connote that they are both happy. There are lots of candles used, and it is set in her bedroom most of the time which connotes a romantic feel.  However, when it switches to the other time period, when they are no longer together, there is a blue tint used to show sadness, and coldness. I will use this effect in my video to show the break up and how the emotions can be put across through colours.
