Decision on what song to choose.

Using the social networking site facebook I used the question tool to ask the question:

"What song should I use for my A2 Media Studies Project?" because I'd narrowed it down to four selections and was having a difficult time choosing so I decided to take the opinions of others into consideration.

The Results were:

Demi Lovato-Skyscraper: 1

Nicki Minaj-Super Bass: 3

Lady Gaga- Born this way: 7

Selena Gomez- Love you like a love song: 9

It seemed that my two favourites were the favourites of my friends to and after going through the advantages and disadvantages which will be shown in a later post I found that Selena Gomez-Love you like a love song was the best choice.

Analysis of Pop Video's continued

How are the band/artist represented? Is this similar across the videos?

The artist is represented in a fun "Barbie" like way, she's stands out because of the bright colours. She seems care free and fun loving in this video, she's not afraid to stand out of crowd. This is a common theme throughout all of Nicki's video's, she always wants to appear girly and fun and there is always a lot of pink in her video's to add to her Barbie style that's consistent throughout the videos.
What relationship exists between the images and the lyrics in the chosen videos?

The dancing in the video represents the lyrics because the line "boy you got my heart beat running away, beating like a drum" and at this point she is moving her hands against her heart to the drum. Props are used for some of the lyrics.

Is it possible to see any common features in music videos?
Dancing is used which I've found appears in all the music videos that I have analysed, there is all live action so you can see her singing some of the lyrics in time with the song. There are many different settings in this video which is sometimes used and sometimes not depending on the narrative story of the song..
