Here is part 1 of our answer to Question 1. This focuses on the analysis of the Music Video using Goodwin and Vernallis, which is led by Amelia and Holly.
The clips we referenced on Youtube are:
Katy Perry - "Hot 'n' Cold" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-LhyAVzDBI
Beyonce - "Single Ladies" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyHVQT8aIBM
Lady Gaga - "Bad Romance" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I
We split Q1 equally, but I had already started analysing the music video, so here is my analysis chart:
(for some reason it won't let me rotate it)
Here is the second part of Q1. This focuses on the analysis of the Album Cover and the Myspace. I led the Album Cover analysis, and Charlotte led the Myspace analysis.
I wanted to add to the Album Cover analysis by talking about our branding and how it comes across. We’re a bit different to other girl bands because we all look similar as opposed to having “the blonde one” “the redhead” etc. This is unusual because it means that perhaps we, as individuals, are less recognisable, but for the band image it is quite good, since whenever someone sees a girl who looks like one of us 4, they will think of The Vixens. It makes us look less manifactured, since we're not trying to be stock characters, we're just being ourselves.
Also, we thought we'd be a bit experimental with the Song Names, showing the band image as being fun and original, with names such as "Tequila Mockingbird" (referencing the book "to kill a mockingbird" but with Tequila added...) and "The Ghoul, The Bat, and The Zombie" (referencing "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"). These songs are a play on words, and have familiarity, since both of those references are well-known.
I did an analysis chart for the album cover too, which is here:
(again, won't let me rotate)
