Music Videos


Michael Jackson - Thriller

I chose this music video because this song has quite good choreography, even though it was released in 1982 some dance moves are still used. It tells a story alongside with the song. The story relates do the song quite well. Even to this day, it's still an old favourite.




Flo Rida ft Sia - Wild Ones

This video is good to watch, showcases fun past times and goes along well with the song, "Wild Ones", because some of the activitys are quite wild such as sky diving, partying hard in night clubs etc.




Chris Brown - Yeah 3x

Good choreography and location. Good song/video for the summer.





B.o.B - So Good

The location is really nice, different compared to other videos because nowadays most are set in night clubs. There are different camera angles which make the video more interesting to watch. And the video fits rather well with the song.

"Red Delicious" Print Advert Analysis

The models seem to be sitting on top of a bike, the female models facial expression seems to be blank however she looks like she's trying to appear seductive. The male model is facing the female model so his entire face cannot be seen, however he seems to be hypnotised and inhaling in her scent. They both have one of the hands touching the others leg which gives the idea that they are quite passionate together and there's a sense of romance between the two.
The location for the print advert is unclear however I am assuming that it is set in New York because of the moving advert for "Be Delicious" and the designer’s name.
The woman is wearing a short red dress and the man is wearing a grey short sleeved t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The woman's clothing has been chosen to show that she is quite seductive, someone you want wish to acquire. And the man’s choice of clothing may have been chosen to show that he is quite casual and relaxed.
In this advert the model yet again is holding a apple, this time it is a red apple. This has been used again to imitate the bottle and a red apple may have been used to go with the theme of red and romance in this print advert.
The colours used in this print advert are mostly red with some grey on the man's clothing. The usage of red would have been used for its connotations of warmth, fun, love, passion and danger. Because people like things that they cannot have, so the man in the advert would want to acquire the woman because she seems dangerous and inaccessible so he wants her more. And the colour grey may have been used to have the connotation that something is stylish, elegant, trendy and neutral. This would have been used so show the man is quite stylish so the woman would want him just as much as he wants her.

The product is called "Red Delicious" part of the "Be Delicious" campaign. The name sounds seductive; this perfume has used the word red for the connotations of passion etcetera. And the word delicious to seem attractive and very seductive to the opposite gender to draw them in.
The slogan is "A new temptation in fragrances. For women. For men." The slogan clearly shows that the perfume wants to give the idea that by wearing this perfume, man or woman, you can appear to be dangerous and very tempting and you will attract a lot of sexual attraction or attention.
The font used is big and red, "Delicious" has been written in capital letters as to draw your eyes into reading that word first. This has been done because if you have brought the "Be Delicious" perfume previously then you might want to buy "Red Delicious" too. And "red" has been written in a fancy and elegant font maybe to give the ideology that the perfume would give you some elegance.
The camera angle used is a medium shot, this possibly may have been used to show the background but still make the audience's eyes be drawn to the models.

The product is aimed at men and women, aged possibly between 20-37 and could be any ethnicity. They could do a job that pays quite well, income is not too high or too low. Lifestyle choices such as shops would include River Island and New Look for the female buyer, the male buyer would also shop at River Island and Topman. The female buyer of "Red Delicious" would read magazines such as "Hello", "OK" and possibly "Elle". The male buyer would read magazines sports magazines etc.. Films viewed by a woman who would buy "Red Delicious" would be maybe a romantic comedy and a man who would buy this would watch action films like "Fast and Furious" etc.. They would be a DINKY.
The advert has magic ingredients because it makes "Red Delicious" seem to be a miraculous perfume. As soon as you put the perfume on you will magically attract sexual attention from anyone and will be able to acquire anyone you wish to acquire. People who have a lot of money will be drawn in by the magic ingredients in this advert and spend their money on "Red Delicious."
According to Goffmans Theory woman are usually appeared showing parts of their body mostly legs and chest. In this advert above the model is mostly showing her legs and she is letting the male model touch her. This makes the female model seem that she doesn't mind being touched and she reveals herself so she can be touched.

DKNY Delicious Night Advert Analysis



In the "Delicious Night" print advert the model is facing towards the audience and her hair looks like it has been wind swept onto her face. The models facial expression seems to be quite intrigued in something ahead of her, something we, the audience, cannot see.

The location of the print/moving advert for "Delicious Night" is in New York yet again, part of the "Be Delicious" perfume campaign. However for the moving and print advert it is New York but at night hence the title "Delicious Night."
The storyline of the moving advert seems to be that the model is having a night out in New York. She is seen with her arms around a man and someone seems to be following/walking with her and she keeps on turning and looking back at this person. The person could be the man she has her arms around.

The costume used for the model is a short,black and backless dress. This dress has been selected for the model to wear because it is perfect for a night out with friends and makes the model seem attractive.

The colours used are mostly purples and blues. Purple connotates that something is eye catching,unusual and remarkable. And blue connotates something if powerful, rich and confident. The purple would have been used to show that by wearing "Delicious Night" you will seem unusual yet quite remarkable and will appear to be confident.

The name of the product is "Delicious Night". This would have been used to show that the perfume is ideal for to wear while having a night out with friends or having a romantic night out with someone special. And by wearing this perfume your night will be quite successful, fun or "delicious".

The font used for the print advert seems to be Times New Roman and yet again has been put in capital letters to draw your eyes to the lettering. This would be a clever way to advertise this perfume because two other perfumes in the Be Delicious campaign had come out prior to "Delicious Night". "Be Delicious" and "Red Delicious" seem to be a huge success so this perfume would mean equal success.

The camera angle/shot is a medium shot, may have been chosen to show the night time New York city background as this goes with the theme of the perfume and the name.

This perfume is aimed at woman, again aged between 20-35. The buyer of "Delicious Night" would have a job probably at a office or something in beauty. She would be very concious about her appearance and would always look at her best. The buyer would go to Selfridge's and would probably own at least one item of Hollister clothing or designer clothing. They would possibly read magazines such as "Elle", "Vogue" etc.. They would like to watch romantic comedy's and might watch a chick flick occasionally with her friends. They could be a DINKY.

The moving advert for "Delicious Night" has snob appeal and magic ingredients. Becauseit makes the buyer of the perfume part of a select group because not everyone can afford this perfume and it will help the buyer gain sexual attention. And not everyone will be able to achieve this sexual attention.

According to Goffmans Theory woman usually have at least one body part on show. In this advert the model's back is on display. Which shows that woman always have flesh showing and cannot resist showing their bodys and making them seem easy to acquire.
