Material girl -Madonna https://youtu.be/6p-lDYPR2P8?si=ZG1QX1gtQuILsjEe

Intertextual reference to Marilyn monroe (gentlemen prefer blondes). Symbolism with the hearts and red and pink  colour palette show romance and love. Parody of consumerism and capitalistic expectations of romance. Showing that women aren’t impressed by expensive gifts


Theme of positivity vs reality. Shots replicated with positive and negative outlooks. The use of colour (saturated and bright / desaturated and dark ) really shows how people imagine London vs how it really is 



Because i liked a boy - Sabrina Carpenter - https://youtu.be/1YUBbF24H44?si=KPLxYyO3Y17-Qowz
Circus theme, she is presented in a variety of ways , as a clown , in a revealing costume (specifically in verses discussing public opinion of her at that a time) and covered in gems with tears made of gems (alluding to how she was percieved as a gold digger). Her ex boyfriend represented by a tiger (themes of predatory and fear) 

Good 4 You - Olivia Rodrigo -
Many fast shots showing different emotions pyrotechnics show rage and literally burning the relationship. Shots of her eyes humanise her and show her upset. Colour palette shifts from cool clinical lighting to fire lit oranges.
