Task 1 part 2



1. Shot one is a shot from the music video "candy man", the shot links to the lyrics in the song, this is as Christian is holding shots and in the lyrics there is an association with alcohol.

2. Shot 2 represents how the record company wants their artist to be represented, in this case they have tried to make Britney Spears look like a "sex symbol", they have done this through use of costume to attract the male audience.

3. Shot 3 illustrates how the "lady marmalade" video uses music genre, in this case they have show the typical "pop" genre through all four performers being on stage, this is as it is a very common set for an example the pussy cat dolls and the sugar babes have also used this sort of set up to show their "pop" genre.

4. shot 4 of Christina's music video "candy man"shows an inter textual reference, this is the whole 1950's sailor theme, the theme of 1950s is the general theme through out the video, for an example it has the whole diner girl feel in the video which is also from the 1950's generation.

5. Shot 5 demonstrates good use of camera in the "Lady Marmalade" video, this is as it is a low angel shot of the girls which makes them look important as it makes their image look bigger, and makes them look as if they are looking down at the audience in which makes them look like the "stars" of the stage.

6. Shot 6 demonstrates great use of lighting in the "Lady Marmalade" video, this is as its been set up so you can only see the silhouette of the performer, which makes the viewer wonder who the performer is, which keeps them hooked to find out. It also make the shot look more interesting and bold.

7. Shot 7 demonstrates the use of miss-en-scene in the "Lady Marmalade" video, the set has been made to look like a romantic boudoir, this to relate with the whole moulin rouge theme, the costume of the performer adds to the miss-en-scene as it is gold and red, which are warm colors so they relate to the whole boudoir set.

8. Shot 8 is a shot which i have seen before in films such as james bond, the shot is from Britney Spears' video "toxic", it creates an action shot which looks really effective and is seen in many action film such as "die hard". It also is seen in one of the "Hearsay video, pure and simple".
