LADY GAGA - TELEPHONE FT. BEYONCÉ

By Farhannah and Dimple

POP

Pop music is short for popular music.By the early 1980s, the promotion of pop music had been greatly affected by the rise of Music Television channels like MTV, which favoured those artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince who had a strong appeal.

Pop music has been dominated by the American and British music industries

STAR IMAGE

The way the star wants to be presented to the

audience through their music video. This can be

shown through their clothes, make up, other artists

in the video or other props in the video.

Our first impressions of the star in this music video

were that she is very strange, out there, wears

provocative clothing, and is maybe a little anti-male.

The reason why we got these impressions were…

Cigarette sunglasses=strange

Provocative clothing=voyeurism, makes you want to watch

In chains, maybe to symbolise that she is out of control

All females but they’re not typical females, very masculine= anti-male yet Lagy GaGa is seen to be very feminine in large heels

US flag, very patriotic

Very revealing clothing=voyeurism they’re in the middle dancing, all eyes on them

Voyeurism, in the foreground

Using Beyonce in the video appeals to Beyonce’s audience as well as Lagy Gaga’s audience and gives her credibility

She is taking a male’s phone (what seems to be a male) she has the upperhand over the male= feministic attitudes

Does a dance=strange, confident, arrogant

INTERTEXTUALITY

Throughout the video they are driving the ‘Pussy

Wagon’, enforces their feministic attitudes.

INTERTEXTUALITY CONTINUED

The two artists in this video are seen to be very

high maintenance as throughout the video there is

constant reference to branded objects. For example,

there is constant reference to virgin media, LG,

Beats by Dre laptop,
