Lady Gaga - Telephone music video analysis


Often contains a number of different elements:

-          Performance

-          Narrative

-          Thematic – star image

-          Symbolic – colours/use of mise-en scene

Telephone – Lady Gaga

Performance:

-          Shows her as a pop artist due to revealing clothing and choreographed dance routines

-          Lady Gaga is the star and is the centre point of all routines showing her sexual moves and her dance mobility.

Narrative:

-          Prison connotes rebellion against authority – goes against societal norms – plays with idea that were circulating about her being transgender

Thematic:

-          Tries to represent her as different and being weird, rebellious and controversial

Symbolic :

Clothing/tapes wrapped round her in prison sells her as sexual whereas the cigarette sunglasses sell her as weird. Clothing throughout is used to represent her as controversial.
