Music Video Analysis

Lady GaGa -- Poker Face:
This music video is all about Lady GaGa hiding her face behind a mask. This shows her putting on a poker face when playing the game, which is all about keeping a straight face and not showing any emotion. The video seems to revolve around a poker game with people concentrating and keeping a straight face, but without Lady GaGa's mask she doesnt have a poker face unlike everyone else. The video also seems quite sexual, as she wears different types of sexy clothing and dnaces around into different positions, its almost as if she is a sexy commentator, watching the moves through her mask.

Dizzee Rascal -- Bonkers:
This unique video is shown exactly around the title. For example Dizzee Rascal has a sharks head on, which is seen as crazy or as in this song, Bonkers! The video is alot of crazy and unique stuff put together randomly to show the audience what they want to see from the title. Which means the producers have worked from the title to build up a random but yet significant video to catch the audience's eye and keep them happy. The video overall is good and keeps to the title making the whole song and video 'BONKERS' from start to finish!

Akon -- Beautiful
This video revolves around Akon being in the centre of many different 'beautiful' women. For example at the start of the video there are different camera shots of different women in different outfits and in different pose's, there is then a camera shot of Akon obviously watching the women as more camera shots come in of even more women. This lasts for the first 17 seconds of the video which may show that these women are ment to be shown as 'Beautiful' and Akon is the one singing about them! Through the video there are another two lads who join the song and also join the women as they dance round the three of them. If its not a shot of Akon and the other two then its camera shots of the women. So overall the Video conveys exactly waht the title says once again but towards the women and how men can be respectable towards them.
