I have chosen to do applause because its very unique and the opposite of what i would like to do but still very interesting to watch. What makes this music video very unique is that its 'all over the place' and doesn't have any relationship with the song. As Lady Gaga is known for her unique taste in costumes, it is no surprise to the audience when they see the singer Lady Gaga dressed in many 'different' costumes while miming the words. The video is made up of a montage of Gaga in different costumes doing different things, such as at the start of the video we see the singer standing in a massive top hat and also seeing a frighting green Gaga standing in a human sized bird cage. The song 'Applause' is very fast paced, as its a pop song, and so the video is manly made up of many short takes of Lady Gage singing, which means that there is never a stage where the audience get bored because they are never seeing something for a long time.
Furthermore what also works in this music video is the colour and lighting. Throughout the piece there is a black background and then Lady Gaga is seen dressed in a contrasting colour such as green, yellow and white, also for some scenes the image is black and white but because the singer is showing a lot of skin she is clearly seen contrasting with the background. This pulls the audiences focus on to Lady Gaga throughout the whole piece.
In my opinion even though the shots are strange and unique it still draws the audience in because they want to see what other madness Lady Gaga brings to the music video. It is clear to see that Lady Gaga uses the shock factor in her music video, as we see her head computer generated on to a black swans body... and so this makes the audience keep on watching because it is entertaining. Lastly the miming works well in this video as its all in time but in my opinion it would be a mistake for me to have the main character mime because i believe that it can only be pulled off and look good enough if it is done professionally.
