Goodwins theory

By Jazmin

Lyric’s and Visual + Music and Visual • When Katy Perry sings the line ‘ there’s a stranger in my

bed’ she looks at him • She say’s is this a ‘This a hickie or a bruise’ and she shows

her neck • She say’s ‘Pictures of last night

Ended up online’ and on the screen you can see the pictures up of last night

• Katy say’s ‘dance on table tops’ it shows a bunch of people dancing and a few are dancing on table tops

• The part where there’s only music and everyone dancing show’s that they’re at a high school party.

• The record label uses a verity of shots of Katy Perry. Examples are close ups, mid shots and long shots. The close up of Katy’s face when she transforms into a popular teenager helps sell her song and it also show’s how perfect she looks even as a geek with braces. The camera pans up her body to show her transformation that has When Katy smiles and the shine comes on it shows that she has transformed into a beautiful teenager from being a nerdy unattractive teenager who doesn’t get noticed by any popular boys. The video is a story of how she went to a party and got popular because she had a make over and because she is so drunk she forgets what happens and her parents come and find her and ask her what happens. Katy Perry is in most part of the video, she is like a brand promoting herself so people could buy her records. happened

Voyeurism • Katy has more close up’s of her when she has

transformed into a beautiful nerd. She Flirts with the camera by putting her finger in her mouth and look flirtatious. Also after she transforms she’s wearing lots of makeup and she’s wearing tight 90’s clothes which are also short to short her figure of because women are portrayed as sex objects in the music industry.

Generic conventions + Intertextuality • The Generic conventions of this video is it has the

bright colours and the abstract colours, the video is like a American movie of a unpopular girl who becomes popular.

• This music video reminds me of the film house party because they throw a party when the parents are not home and they get caught in the end like Katy Perry does.
