Music video themes

SEX-
Visual connotations:
 

The lyrics in this songs have strong  visual links to sex. We will be following Andrew Goodwin's conventions of "Amplifying" this. However our music artist will not be fully naked but we will create an illusion of her being fully naked by showing her bare back.The use of bedding as a prop also represents the act of sex and gives the viewer a "private" show. The main colour associated with sex is red. We will be using this through our artist's use of costume and make up. Red lipstick on females has been  popular following the "pop" iconic sensation Marilyn Monroe. Red lipstick will give viewers the "male gaze" and be subject to viewing our artist Giselle in a sexual manner. The artist will be showcasing a messy hairdo in the music video which can connote messy sex.



INNOCENCE-
Visual connotations:


                      The lyrics,
"
" show that the artist has an innocent,vulnerable and possible shy personality. In this music video we will use a white sheet to represent this as well as close ups on the eyes signature "big eyes" will also be used to represent innocence .We could possibly explore with the artist's dual like personality as being sexually active but shy.


Light and Dark-

Visual Connotations:









We will explore light and dark backgrounds and lighting in the music video. This will juxtapose the contrasting lyrics in the chorus that represent shyness and innocence versus the first verse which shows a sexual prowess,"Break or seize me
If the flame gets blown out in the shine
I will know that you can not be mine
Never leave me"
