Video responses

The Britney Spears music video is filled with special effects and colorful costuming. The camera angles not only add emphasis to certain aspects of the scene, but they provide a sharp and bold look through each transition. the style of the video was dark; with a grunge feel (almost pre- apocalyptic) which helped to enhance to message of the song.


Devo's video is very comical in not only its meaning but styling of the video. The mixture of the country setting and characters intertwined with the band in their "futuristic" clothing only adds to the hilarity the song already possesses. The real question is: Why the flowerpots and goggles? Or why did they choose to have the actors over exaggerate all facial expressions?



Blake Shelton's video is a very light and "heart-happy" video. The lighting is very bright, which helps to add a certain glow to the scenery and characters. There was also plenty of light comedy (the boys, old man, etc.) to keep the viewer laughing all the way through. The allusions and metaphors in the chorus are adorable and should bring a smile to anyone's face.
