Analysing Costume, Setting and Location in music video

I've decided to analyse Natasha Bedingfield's song 'These Words'



There were 8 costume changes, 2 of those changes included a change of hairstyle but not a change of clothes. She was wearing a different outfit for each setting, this might be not be a wise thing for me and my group to do because if we do too many different settings the costume changes would start to look really obvious and predictable.

This is at the very start of the music video, the background is very colorful and her blue top stands out against the background because the colors clash slightly.

The setting in this shot is very small but that allows all the attention and focus to be on Natasha because she is right in the center of the shot. Also in this shot there is the use of slow motion. 

This is a wide shot of Natasha showing the background behind her to be again be quite bright and colorful like the first screenshot. 

This close up allows the audience to see the expression on the singers face. 

This shot is a lot darker and she has darker makeup on during the middle 8 section of the song, the location and costume link with the lyrics and setting as the chord selection changes and becomes more intense.
