Video analysis of Katy Perry- Teenage Dream

This is a narrative and performance music video with the use of direct address towards the camera, through research and analyse of other music videos i have found that this technique is used alot within music videos. Within this video the locations are i.e of the sea are lovely and make one of the themes of the music video summer.

In the video there are many close ups and extreme close ups of Katy Perry, this is to prehaps show her beauty, trying to appeal to a male audience. Shots also used within this video are mid-shots and establishing shots, the establishing shots are mainly used to show the different locations. My favorite shot within the music video is the shot of the camera being half under water and half over water with a red lighting. I like the idea of the camera shooting under water as this adds variety to the shots and makes the video more intresting znd exciting. In the scene shot in the car the camera work appears to be unsteady which adds to the exciting scene of them being on a road trip.
Although this video includes nice locations i think that there is a weak narrative and overalll quite boring to watch as it is predictable. I think that we might have to tavkle this problem in our music video as i feel our story line is quite predicable and needs working on so it wont be to predctable for the veiwer to watch.
