The material I choose is the MV of the song Lover, which comes from Taylor’s album. The video focuses on Taylor’s boyfriend and her musical music experience.
I have tried to translate the music video content by means of text paraphrasing and audience reaction. However, after my experiment, I found that there might be a better way to reproduce this MV, such as other people’s covers. Because many listeners record their own cover versions of their favorite songs.
What inspired me was Taylor’s new remake of two album that had been out of copyright. All the songs on the album are the same, just new arrangements and new recordings, and write the Taylor’s version at the back.
Therefore, I decided to translate this MV by paraphrasing the cover version of Lover by the fans.The video switches scenes in seven different colors to represent each of her seven albums. Because Taylor said that every album is a different phase and a different Taylor.
So，The cover versions of different styles are toned according to different scenes, and the scenes in the original MV are copied in the switching sequence, and then re-edited into another cover version of the MV.

Not working:
-too safe
-missing one week’s work
Further development
-Use shorter clips/more radical remix
-More experiments
