After viewing this video, I was driven towards some realizations. For writers, context shapes, some might disagree that it actually causes a purpose for writing. Furthermore, contexts shape the chances, obligations, and restrictions that influence the choices writers make as they generate their papers. For readers or audience, context shapes their attempt to build meaning as they understand. Physical context can improve or reduce their ability to read the text. Social context can affect the point to which writers and readers share ordinary experiences and expectations about a text. Cultural context will affect the beliefs and ambitions that they pass to the reading of a text.
In Taylor Swifts video “Love Story”, as the audience, I think the context is supposed to be positioned to the earlier century about an adolescent boy and girl. They fall in love, but the girl’s father is not pumped about the idea. He tells “Romeo” to stay away from his daughter, so they sneak around in the garden and around the town. “Romeo” goes away for awhile and they meet outside of town where he asks “Juliet” to marry him. “Romeo” said he talked to her dad, so begin making plans for the wedding. In the end, it was just a life-size love story.
In the story, there is all three context theories from stated above. The physical context is the story of how Taylor Swift interprets her video to the words. It depends on where you read or watch the text. The social context is when people put you in their shoes. Groups talk about their personal experiences from the text. Cultural context is about the peoples beliefs of the text. For example, when they father says stay away from my daughter. The cultural aspect is that he is afraid to let his daughter leave him. That means in their culture it isn’t appropriate to date at that age, but in different cultures it might not be so bad.
From the video I learned about the way context is perceived, and how the different audiences relate to the video.
