Music Video's that share the same genre

Taylor Swift - white horse

Swift also shares the same record label as our music video 'Big Machine Records'

The video is a love story that has gone wrong and is based on a Narrative video genre and the genre of county for the music.

Kelly Clarkson - Mr know it all

Clarkson's video song is also about a relationship that has gone wrong. It doesn't use a narrative as it is more performance based. However it is a Country genre and it uses many techniques that we plan to use in our music video.

Katy Perry - Thinking of you

Perry's video is based on a narrative which has a twist and it hasn't gone wrong in the sense of a break up but due to a call of duty. The genre is more pop, however the beginning can be linked to country due to its soft mellow sounds.
