My own WWW is that I covered the Mise en scene and I like the locations I had picked for the music video. 3) My

The music videos you analyse are up to you but focus on a different aspect of media language for each one. Music videos How is narrative used in the music video and what impact does this have on the audience? Can you apply any narrative theories to the story in the music video? Sabrina Carpenter - Taste Narrative is used in this music video as it follows the plot of the horror movie "Death becomes her" which is an endless battle over a man after a potion that promises eternal life. In this video both girls are attempting to kill each other to win the attention of the love interest. The scene automatically starts off with Sabrina carpenter holding a knife with the intention to kill the "other woman" Jenna Ortega: the video continues on with Sabrina Carpenter being impaled and restored just like the movie. However, the video takes a
