#Music video
Development, release and promotion
According to Swift, on November 3, 2011 she had finished the second day of shooting for the music video of "Ours". The music video premiered on E! News and E! Online on December 2, 2011 at 7:00pm ET. Swift, herself, came up with the concept for the video. The video is directed by Declan Whitebloom. In an interview with E! News, Swift describes her idea, "I had a very definitive idea of what I wanted this video to be." Whitebloom, who also directed Swift's "Mean" video expresses, "When Taylor says, 'I've got an idea,' you listen to what she's gonna say. And so I did, and it was a great idea—and I loved it!". To promote the video Swift is releasing thirteen behind the scene "webisodes" daily on her official website.Synopsis
The video begins with, Swift, dressed as a career woman, passes through the lobby to the elevator and greets the people she meets. As the elevator's door closes, Swift begins to sing, looking indolent and slothful, seeing people surrounding her in the elevator. As the elevator reaches the thirteenth floor, people surrounding her start to exit and nudge her. Swift then walks in the office and sluggishly sits at her office desk while a man disturbs her. Swift then wanders in the office to use the office's printer (which is first out of paper, out of toner, and then disappears altogether); waits for a man who is noisily drinking water at a water cooler in the staff room; and eats while there are two women who laugh and talk about her behind her back. Later at her office desk, Swift takes a sticky note written by her and her boyfriend (Zach Gilford) stating that they loved each other first. Swift turns on the computer, watching and smiling at various videos of her and her boyfriend. She takes a look at her watch and leaves the office in a better mood than when she arrived. Swift waits for a bus outside. On the bus, Swift watches more videos on a Sony Tablet S of moments with her boyfriend. The bus stops at the airport. Swift gets off and looks around. Her boyfriend then emerges from the sliding doors of the airport, revealing to us that he was overseas serving in the military. Swift breaks into a smile, drops everything that she is carrying, and runs into her boyfriend's arms. They embrace each other as the video ends.-Admin Whittle- (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ours_%28Taylor_Swift_song%29)
