their final gig for the future.
• In 2011 Tulisa started working on her own solo album which was to be released on 17th
September 2012. The first single to be released from the album was 'Young' the video of Young
was filmed in Miami on the 2nd of March, on the 29th of April 'Young' was released and became

album, her last album was 'Love Live Life' when she was a member of N Dubz.
• Below is their most recent album, 'Love Live Life' you can tell by looking at the photograph of
Tulisa she is very girly and glamorous with her baby pink dress and accessories her songs are
about girl related subjects as well being relationships and partying like her most recent song 'Live
it up' located in Hawaii where she is seen on an island partying with her friends, however due to
the journey N Dubz have faced in their career most of their songs are about problems and distress
each of them have experienced personally. The background of the album cover shows the streets
and tall office blocks crammed together which could reflect London where they grew up showing
them to be based on the streets where some of their problems have started up.

4. • When hearing about the song 'Young' who Tulsa's ex boyfriend and band
mate wrote she said she had to have it and that the song represents
everything she is about, the song is about being young and having fun it is
filmed in Miami, where she is seen in different locations with friends having
fun and enjoying herself. It is an electro pop song and has been compared to
Rihanna's and Calvin Harris hit 'We Found Love'. The song shows several
sides to the singer and we can see this through location, mise en scene her
overall look in different scenes. It is targetted at the younger generation
potentially females of around 16-25. Above are two extracts from Tulisas
music video 'Young' you can see on the right she is dressed for summer in
shorts and a crop top reflecting on it being summer, it also shows some sex
appeal from Tulisa she is dressed casual but revealing sometimes associated
with teenage girls reflecting on the song 'Young' which is all about enjoying life
as a young girl and partying. She is shown with some bags which could mean
she is taking a holiday and going away again reflecting on her video of her
being with friends in different locations around Miami one being a beach
associated with holidays and fun and partying. The left extract from the video
shows Tulisa in a natural but glamorous way her hair is natural, down and
loose and she is wearing a low cut top giving off a lot of sex appeal which
could mean she is trying to give off a certain image or she is ready to go out
partying again reflecting the meaning of the video.

5. • From watching the video in full i have come to an analysis of the video. She is singing about being young and enjoying
yourself, having fun and getting up to mischief saying it is almost acceptable when your young so make the most of it
because you can learn form your mistakes later in life. 30 seconds through the video she is seen in a silver dress against a
burnt out old rusty car with graffitti in the background she looks glamorous and you wouldn't associate her in that location
you would associate ganags and young yobbs to hang around places like that which gives off the idea of her not caring and
wanting to enjoy herself. 1 minute through the video she is seen of roller skates with her two friends which is sometimes
associated a childlike thing to do, they are then seen breaking through a metal fence and taking a baby lamb which they then
take to an old underground with just a sofa somewhere you would associate children and gangs to hang out which shows
her mischief side to the music video. In the same way 1 minute 30 seconds through the video there is a close up shot of
Tulisa taking a room key and then breaking into what looks like a vip suite in a hotel in which they dance around and have a
pillow fight and make a mess of the hotel room which can also be seen as a childish but fun thing to do which again reflects
on the whole image of the video of having fun and doing things you don't take seriously in life. In one shot two minutes
through the video we see Tulisa in a an orange bodycon dress looking very glamorous and attractive on a roof garden which
shows her femininity, sex appeal and classy side to her in the video. In contrast 1 minute 58 seconds through the video we
see a more edgy side to her with an over the shoulder shot of her showing off her unicorn tattoo in her corset giving off sex
appeal and with tattoos in society associated with gangs and mischief and trouble it reflects on the trouble making side to her
in the video where she is seen stealing things and tresspassing. 2 minute 40 seconds through the video there is a mid shot
of Tulisa where she is featured licking up some spilt ice cream off the side this again shows her being young and immature
you would not do that in public if you were an adult . With the single all about being young and making mistakes that you
learn from it features some poignant lyrics throughout, she sings 'ill make mistakes that i learn form, cos im young, yeah im
young' 'dont worry bout what ill become its just fun its just fun' which is her saying dont worry ill make these mistakes to
have fun and learn from them later because your only young once. Some people may say the video has been published as a
stunt to grab the publics attention as days before it was published and explicit sex tape was leaked online and caused much
havoc for Tulisa and embarrassment it is said this suggestive video is a way of saying sorry I'm young and ill make mistakes
like this, with the opening line of the video being 'forgive me for what i have done,cos im young yeah I'm young' also the fact
there is a clip of her licking up ice cream which is quite a bizarre thingqq to do it could link into her fiesty yet immature side of
her being young and not taking life too seriously. Towards the end of the video 2 minute 50 seconds through she is dressed
smartly but sexy at what looks like a work meeting to study art her mischief side then comes out and she is seen writing on a
piece of art in pink 'the female boss aka Tulisa with a kiss and heart' which is something you would associate with school
and a what a child would write on their books, she strongly states she is a female and boss giving off a message of her
wanting to be in charge but also have fun a sense that she doesn't take life too seriously and likes to enjoy herself. At the
end of the video there is a scene where she is dancing and drinking alcohol partying and having fun with friends something
also that young people tend do in society today, this is followed by a close up shot of Tulisa asleep hungover in bed with her
friends still with her dress on and the camera drops and bounces twice on a angle which almost makes you look twice as if
you as a viewer are drunk or hangover yourselves again putting across the message of being young and for it being ok to
have fun and make mistakes because they can be fixed later in life when things are taken a lot more seriously.
