A2 media music videos - Applause

Applause originally by Lady Gaga is very well known for doing weird and wonderful things with her video and this student really did take that into consideration when producing her video for Applause.  With the video starting of with the actress walking slowly off stage behind the curtains it then cuts to b;acl and white with her dressed all in black not yet lip synching. The shots then start to overlap eachother which gives a very good effect to the music video. Then it cuts to the next scene in which the shots are coloured red and blue and her lip synching proves to be in time with the backing track. There are also some scenes in which she has a paint splatter ladder and shes behind it singing which gives it the "Lady Gaga" effect because its weird but it works. There is also some special effects added in post filming like the bright  yellow eye and the silhouette of the girl dancing. I feel as if the student who produced this music video wanted to convey the craziness of Lady Gaga but put her own little spin on it as well.
