Blog 6 - Video Analysis

In this section of my blog I will analyse two different videos which fall into the same genre as our artist we have selected; Kesha. The videos we choose will include along the same lines of the 'Party' theme we are wanting to go for with our video. We will also compare the Representation, Narrative, Audience and also the meaning of the video.

One of the videos we will compare will be Lady Gaga - Just Dance

This video can be compared to that off the one we wish to produce as the video involves a wild party involving lots of people, loud music a typical teenage 'free house' party. It shows the typical representation of what the average person thinks a teenager is and what a typical teenager does. I think this has been done as a way of proving a point as such. The narrative of this video would be a typical house party with over the amount allowed of people there and where each guest wears a 'wacky' costume, this type of party you would see as for an older audience as you assume that there would be drink, drugs and sex.














The other artists video we are going to choose is Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

This video also falls into the same genre as both the above artists, although they are not the same style video, the Genre of Pop falls into both. Pop music is made up of expressing love and aimed at teenagers. This song represents teenage love and the possible effects of falling in love. This falls into the representation and the common representation of teenagers are that they fall in love too easily and often get their heart broken. This relates to the narrative of the video, it shows a young girl falling in love whilst on a holiday, which relates to the typical stereotype of young people.




For both these music videos the audience is teenagers and young adults, this conincidently agrees with the fact through varios research that teenagers are the main target audience for both of these audiences chosen as well as others that have been discussed.
