I chose to analyse this video as Katy Perry is a similar artist to Lady GaGa. The video starts off with flashes of shots of different objects, mostly body parts that are considered sexual, such as lips, legs and necks. The flashes are in time with the music as the song has a distinctive beat. The shot then pans up Katy Perry, starting from her legs and focusing on her head. It then flashes to a shot of her neck which again is considered to be sexual. There are also a lot of close ups of Katy Perry singing. The setting is not very well established as all the audience can see is her sitting on a bed. When the chorus comes in more girls appear and dance around Katy. She is moving in a sexual sense with close ups of other girls. The costumes are made up of corsets, tights and high heels. The camera angles are all different, form long shots showing her whole body to close ups just showing her face. These are angles I would want to use in my own video as they make the video more interesting and give another perspective on the video. The scene then changes to the girls having a pillow fight and close ups of them all laughing and playing. The video then ends on Katy Perry waking up next to her boyfriend so it seems like the whole video was a dream. I could use this technique in my own video however it would have to fit in with the theme of the song.
