The document provides an analysis of Katy Perry's music video for "California Gurls" using Lacey's repertoire of elements to examine genre conventions. It finds that the video initially conforms to pop music stereotypes through its sexualized portrayal of female characters and objectification of women. However, it also notes that the video challenges some conventions by having the women gain power over the male character and by potentially providing social commentary on unrealistic Hollywood depictions. Technically, the video uses techniques like colorful lighting, costumes and sets to establish its candy-land setting and enhance the viewing experience.
