Lyrics and Visuals

The song where is the and the video that goes with it are very closely linked, this is something that was meant to be do done, as it a quite a deep song which people would feel passionately about, so if they then saw the video to go with, it wouldnt be like, oh, well the song is deep, but the video looks like they had a laugh, they wanted it to be more like, oh yeah, a can see why they have done it, black eyed peas have used there video to emphasize there message that they have in there song which is love and peace.
The theme that can be seen in this is the idea of fighting the authorities, and trying to get something right done, eve if it gets them into trouble, which is to get peace in the love, and the song constantly says 'where is the love' which is suggesting to us that the love has gone and they are doing all they can to try and find it.

Genre Characteristics

Bulletproof can fit in to afew genre categories, these are, electropop, synthoop and bitpop.  The genre pop is a very loose term, due to the fact that any song can become pop, as to be classed as pop it has to become popular, thats it, there are no guide lines for pop.
Usually though, a artist will try to just aim there song at the masses and they do this by trying to make there song as catchy as possible, so it sticks in peoples heads, and a music video which is bright, exciting, and nothing too complex's. These are the idea thats pop as a genre hold at the moment in the music industry.

This song is very much pop, but it would fit into sub categories, which are types of hybrids between pop and electro. The music in this song is clearly, electronically made and enhanced, that also compliments the music video which is very much bright vibrant colour which could been seen as something like lasers.
Saying all this, there is very much a pop side to this song, is it doesnt really have a clear message, it isnt 'deep' it is just very catch, and this can shown by the fact that is constantly goes back to back to the line 'this time baby il be bulletproof' in that line there are afew words which also would show and tell us this is meant to be pop, this is the word 'baby' this is a very in word, which isnt meant to be serious, which would suggest that, this song isnt meant to be taken to seriously.

-Links between Lyrics and Visuals
-Links between Music and Visuals (complimentary, contradictory or amplification)
-Genre characteristics
-Intertextual reference
-Notions of looking (objectifying women)
-Voyeurism
-Demands of the record label
-Performance based, narrative based or concept based on the music video

First post

Just wanted to get my first post out of the way.

In this post i shall be explain what i will be doing in the month left of year 12, and the go in what i shall be doing next year for my A2's

Our task for the rest of this year is to find a music video (i think we are doing 'golden' by mika) taking a snippet of the music video and then for us to re do it, with mouth syncing and everything.

The other 2 people in my group are;
-India
-Dan

Next year we will either have to find an up copyrighted song and redo the whole thing, or to ask permission from the music label to do a copyrighted song, and to remake it.
