"Takin' Back My Love" - Enrique Iglesias feat. Ciara


This is the video I choose for the music video because It has a narrative that I liked allot and also the type of music playing is very upbeat and can keep viewers entertained for a long period of time.



1) The first point that I noticed when watching this specific music video is that there are forms of illustration being used. Illustrating is where there are links between the lyrics and visuals of the music video. So the song is called taking back my love. and Enrique and Ciara are having a breakup and they are smashing up the house and she is taking back her loves which means she is throwing out all of his clothes and smashing the house to show her independence from him.

2) The second point I noticed was that there was a link between the music and visuals. When ever the music was fast paced or speeded up there was faster cuts from close ups of Enrique to Ciara where much faster, and when the beat was slowed down more it was longer cuts of either slow motion smashing of objects or both of them close up in each others faces.

 3) There are a large amount of close ups of the stars, but this generally occurs when the music has slowed down, and both of the singers sing there solos, and when the music speeds up again it goes back to smashing of objects and mid range to long shots.

4) There are small amounts of voyeurism within the video for both male and female, there is one main section where the is sexual tension, and this is shown when they are very close to each other and the goes in for a kiss but then she pushed him away with her finger, but other than that there is not to much Voyeurism.
