I Prevail - Blank Space (Taylor Swift Cover) - Punk Goes Pop Vol. 6





The music video I chose to analyze is I Prevail 's cover of Taylor Swifts "Blank Space", which was part of an album series called Punk Goes Pop. This video is strictly performative, which means it only focuses on the performers playing the song. The video uses color, tone, light, and rhythm to portray the style the artist wanted and stayed very consistent throughout the video with no changes that I noticed. The camera does have some minor movement, but stays mostly static focusing on the singer and the "screamer", but does flash to the drummer and two guitarist. The video definitely does not follow the story in the song, and I don't think it reinterprets the song either. I couldn't really pick out a part of the video that is significant, but the whole video is shot at a close-up view.
