Music Video Analysis

The music video for Firework by Katy Perry is filmed at night in many different locations. The video has multiple storylines running throughout showing the different lives and situations that link to the message of the song. The song is meant to be inspiration for people. For our music video we want a main storyline (narrative) with an empowering message for girls as it matches our song choice.  In this video Katy Perry mimes the words throughout but we want our music video to have more of a performance aspec, with a band playing instruments not just the artist miming. 

This music video has more of a mixture between narrative and performance. It shows (like firework) the different storylines of characters within the music video but also shows the band performing. The area in which they are performing is the same sort of style we want in our musci video. It is filmed in a big open space with little background behind it and just the band performing, no audience. 

Party in the USA is a song by popular American artist Miley Cyrus. This song was released in 2009 when her primary audience was teens aged 11 -18 years. This is a similar audience range that we are looking to aim towards in our video. The video includes Miley in an American themed outfit to suit the title of the song. The fans who watch the video will idolize her, so her outfit choices are very important.

There are groups of teenagers dancing, singing and laughing showing that they are having a good time, which links in with the happy feel of the song.
