1. The wide shot angle shows Lady Gaga’s dancers wearing body suits that are revealing to their lower
half of the body and they make people look at their private area more. This is a negative portrayal of
women as I believe Lady Gaga may be trying to show the audience that women are only seen as
sexual objects. This relates to Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ as they are dressed in provocative clothing
that will make them seem appealing to men. This idea is enhanced as all the women are wearing a
head gear that covers their faces. This suggests that women are only viewed and judged by their
bodies. The wide shot allows the audience to see that all but one of the women are dressed in the
same way which connotes that a lot of women dress to impress men and that there is the odd few
that try to break the stereotype.

2. This shot relates to Andrew Goodwin’s Theory on pop videos. Andrew Goodwin’s theory on Star
image is that the star will be promoted through their video using frequent close-ups and other
techniques. I think this still image supports his idea as Lady gaga is portrayed as being an out of the
ordinary pop star that breaks the codes and conventions.
