Music Videos: Breanna Rack

1) Till the World Ends- Britney Spears
The beginning of the music video uses mostly black and dark grey colors as if to explain that the world is ending and all is dark and dreary. People escape down in a man hole to an underground area that Britney is at where she is "dancing till the world ends." As an artist trying to recreated and maintain her image, she wears more clothes than perhaps she has in the past, but her and her other dancers remain fairly scantily clad and in mostly black ensembles. As the song progresses, we see an infusion of oranges, yellows, and red in both the scenery and the clothing. They also show scenes of buildings crumbling and red fiery rock soaring through the air. Towards the end of the music video, the color turns to almost all reds and oranges as an apparent meteor hits the earth and the world ends.

2) Whit It- Devo
In this music video the production was much lower of a budget than the Britney video. There was probably only one stage used with a pen and minimal graphics or props used. In the Britney video there was CGI of the world ending and tons of smoke and lighting that had to be customized instead of just general lighting in the Devo video. The wrist juxtaposes the country folk with the futuristic band members who are dressed in all black with red cone hats. The hats act as a gag to keep the audience engaged and interested in who these artists are and why they are choosing to dress in that particular fashion. The video is also overtly sexualized with captions such as "Ride 'em Cowboy" and "Come and get it" as well as girls in busty outfits  who become less and less clothes as they get whipped by the lead singer.

3) Honey Bee- Blake Shelton
This is also simple with two major scenes, his living room and the honey stand. The scenes are very stereotypical-- a country singer with his dog and guitar singing about a girl in a country style house and the other scene which is outside a farm house next to a field where there is a dirt road and his truck. In the chorus he compares himself to her saying that she is the more delicate side to him and his rough nature and that they could complement each other nicely. The music video goes along with the words-- about a girl that will be his "Honey Bee" who actually sells honey!
