"Shake it off, Shake it off!"
Taylor Swift - Shake it off
The following screenshots show how the lyrics of a pop song usually link to the visuals shown in the video. For example Taylor Swifts 'Shake It Off' shows a group of people moving to the beat of the song and literally 'shaking it off'. Also Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' a section of the song says 'All I wanted was to break your walls' - while the visuals show a wall breaking down as she walks towards the camera, away from what is going on behind her.

Rihannas 'Only Girl In The World' makes use of bright colours and even flowers, which contributes to the mood of the song, which is a dance pop. The mise-en-scene includes lots of make up, dancing and fashion accessories. Tints and filters have been added to boost the colours and perhaps photoshop has also been used, in order to improve the appearance of the artist.
