The video uses a medium close up shot of Katy Perry that frames her head and cuts off around her mid-chest. This shot focuses on her facial expressions while revealing little of the surroundings. A pulling focus technique is used to blur the background and direct attention to Katy Perry as the subject. The mise-en-scene shows Katy Perry bathing and wearing nothing, conforming to expectations of sensualizing women in media. Feminist film theory, like Laura Mulvey's male gaze concept, applies as the scene depicts Katy Perry from a masculine point of view for the spectator.

1. The camera shot type used in this part of the video, is a ‘medium
close up’ shot. This shot frames a subject's head (Katy Perry) and
cuts off around mid-chest.
The focus is on the subject.
This shot type reveals only a little of the surroundings, still
showing the facial expressions of Katy Perry.
Mise-en-scene in this part of the video, shows the setting clearly
in this video, even though it is not displayed as a wider screen,
but instead, as a medium close up shot. The camera angle, shows
the background and surroundings of Katy Perry, as the viewer can
clearly see and assume that she is in a place of nature and
greenery (a jungle).
A camera technique called ‘Pulling focus’, is used in this part of
the video, as one person is the subject of the video, in this case,
Katy Perry is the subject and everything else behind her (her
surroundings) are blurred out, so that the viewer is directed to
the subject of the video, putting all focus on Katy Perry, as she is
the only one who is clearly visible to the viewer.
Mise-en-scene in this part of the video, shows the subject’s (Katy Perry) costume. In this case, Katy Perry is shown
as wearing nothing, as she is bathing. This particular scene, conforms to our expectations of gender
representations of females in the media, as usually, women are represented in the media as being a ‘sex object’.
Furthermore, this part of the video shows Katy Perry being rather sensual and voluptuous, as she is shown as
being erotic, since she is also shown as not wearing anything. Also, her body language makes this part of the
video look sexual, as her body language and posture complements with her facial expressions of coming across, as
though she is back to being feminine again.
In relation to theories, The male gaze theory
by feminist film critic, Laura Mulvey, would
conform to the representation of Katy Perry
(female) in this part of the video, as Laura
Mulvey’s concept refers to the way visual
arts are structured around a masculine viewer,
describing the tendency in visual culture to
depict the world and women from a masculine
point of view and in terms of men's attitudes.
The male gaze consists of three different gazes:
1. That of the person behind the camera.
2. That of the characters within the
representation or film itself.
3. The gaze of the spectator.
Lighting in this video can be
described as ‘high-key
lighting’, as the video
consists of bright, vivid and
vibrant colours.
