A2 Music Video analysis on Prezi

This album does not feature the artists upon it. However this creates a feeling of curiosity for the viewer as if they do not know who the band looks like they will wonder what they will look like when listening to their music. Therefore by doing this creating more interest by the viewer. This is their debut album so there name is central and in bold capital letters showing that, that is what the point of focus is. The colours in the background are a sepia , yellow tinted like colour, to try and make all the attention be on the bands name which is in bright white.

Katy perry's album is named ' one of the boys' however the album cover looks very feminine with the artist in a bikini like top and surrounded by flowers which are a feminine icon.The font in which her name is also very feminine and is in pink.The front of this cover is very complimentry when regarding the colours used within it. However unlike the artists name that is in pink the album name is in blue,'one of the boys'. Therefore subtly showing the traditional views of pink for girls and blue for boys. The artist and her name and album name are placed in the central of the cover, thus showing that this is katy perry and this is her album, very blatantly. The relationship between the text and images use juxter position due to the fact the album is called 'one of the boys', however everything is feminine she has not attempted to look masculine and be 'one of the boys'. The iconography shown in this image it can be suggested that the music will be aimed more at the female audience and that the record player in the right hand corner may suggest that it will be pop music in which consists in this album. And that it will possibly be mainstream as there is a radio on it suggesting her songs will be popular and be played on the radio. There is a white picket fence in the background which are very common in america perhaps subtly showing that the artist is american.

Christina Aguilera has been in the spot light for many years and is well known for her provacative music videos and raunchy album covers. However now as she is getting older i think she has gone for a more mature look and made the album cover look provocative but in a mature manner. For example it looks like she is laying in a bed she is looking right at the camera and has bright red lipstick on. I believe that the album cover name, 'back to basics', relates to the album cover itself as the album cover is basic also. Her name is smaller then the album cover itself thus showing that by her photo people will recognise her instantly anyway without having to read her name.

This album is called 'the fame' by lady gaga. It was one of her first albums so this is possibly explaining her rise to fame. She has big glasses on which are usually associated with fame. She is a new artist so this is more then likely why she is the main attraction on the album cover and her name stands out, thus letting people know who she is and what she is about.
