CD Cover Analysis

Lady Gaga tends to have her face on the cover of her albums in a closeup shot to emphasis that its her album. Lady gaga's album is called 'The fame' this is effective because this is the album that put her in the spotlight and what made her Lady Gaga. This album cover is mostly based on the title and Lady Gaga's name in general as this album gave Lady Gaga her name as it boosted her into the charts etc.

Lady Gaga's eyes are covered and eyes are normally shown to draw the audience into the album but the shades cover her eyes so the audiences eyes will wander elsewhere e.g. to the title of the album and the artists name. The Album cover looks very glamourous as the shades normally emphasis the rich and famous hence the title 'The Fame'.

This next album cover shows Lady Gaga wearing a very glamourous and extravagant head piece this really shows Lady Gaga's style as she is always outrageous yet glamorous. The pearls and Lace reinforce the glamour. The second album cover is the remixes to the original songs and the picture is like a remake of the original since her eye is still covered but her image has completely changed since she has red curly hair oppose to the straight blonde hair she had in the first album cover. Despite these differences the second album cover still emphasizes the text on the album cover to ensure the audience knows that this album is a remix album and not the original.

Production

Production Treatment : Rebia, Ross, Andy

The Music Video : Lady Gaga – Fashion

Duration: The music video will be 3:OO long.

Audience: The target audience would most likely be teenage girls ranging from 12-20 as the song is very upbeat and the genre is pop. The song is about fashion, which girls tend to be more interested in their appearance and fashion at this age.

Resume: The video wont really have much of a narrative as we want to bring a lady gaga theme to out music video. The little narrative that is there will be lady gaga (Rebia) changing outfits and cat-walking around the town centre like a diva. Since the song has a lot of beats we will match the cutting rate to the beat to keep the audience interesting a lot of close up of clothing items to interpret the song title in our song.

Suggested elements: The performance will include lip syncing and Rebia strutting her stuff and changing outfits, also there will be random shots of high fashion poses to emphasis the fashion title of the song. The costumes will be outrageous like Gaga herself and dramatic makeup. The special effects will be titles at the beginning and end, we want it to look like a film opening e.g ‘Starring Ross’

The key locations will be around college, also against a green screen and also filming around our town centre.
