The two stars of our video are the two girls, Siobhan and Brianna. The audience are able to recognise this through the amount of shots that there is of them individually and together. They are the focus in these shots, for example they are in the positioned in the centre. They are even the focus of the clips in which both the girls and boys are in together, such as the one of them running towards the camera, the girls are seen first followed by the boys chasing after them.
Our artists, Siobhan and Brianna, are fun-loving, energetic yet rebellious.
They are portrayed as fun-loving and energetic through the upbeat pop song in which they both dance to. During some of the shots of them lip-syncing, the girls are smiling and laughing, showing that they are having a good time and are energetic. Their choices of costume are also brightly coloured which emphasises again how lively they are.
They are also presented as rebellious through the storyline as they escape from the dinner party to get away from the boys to go and 'party.' They also change their costume slightly by swapping from flat shoes into heels and applying even more make up such as bright red lipstick. This gives the audience a feel that they are both rebellious and like to be in control of what they do. By wearing bright coloured lipstick again links back to their energetic side.
Existing star persona
Our star persona connects with another existing star persona portrayed by another famous girl band, Girls Aloud.
One of their music videos in which I feel that the star persona they are trying to convey to the audience is that they are rebellious. This is in their video for Sound Of The Underground. This song isn't your typical Pop Song and is more towards the Pop Rock genre of music. Knowing this makes me already think their will be a twist in their Star Persona that is presented in their other music videos. Within the first 5 seconds we see the band standing behind their microphones in a cage-like location. (Photo below) When I'd first seen this I automatically thought of a prison cell. Although my interpretation wasn't correct, the band are still positioned inside this cage which has connotations of entrapment and we usually put pets in cages to keep them under control. From this, it makes me think that Girls Aloud are rebellious and like to do their own thing.
I also noticed their choices of outfit for this music video were a little different. Girls Aloud are usually dressed in party wear and in bright colours along with brightly coloured, bold make up. Whereas in this, they are wearing more hip hop clothing and big, dark, bold make up. Again, I think this also presents the rebellious and 'bad girl' side of Girls Aloud.
Below are two photos in which you can see the bold make-up and their choice of outfit.
For many of their other upbeat songs such as Love Machine and Something New there is a dance routine which gives the audience the impression that Girls Aloud are a very energetic and lively band. Although their video for Sound Of The Underground isn't as jumpy as some of their others, their are points in their video in which all the girls still move to the beat at the same time. (As shown below)
Their videos for Love Machine and Something New, give off the impression that they are energetic, as explained above, and fun-loving. This is through their dance routine, choice of outfit and how they have acted in the video. I have analysed their video for Love Machine here. Their video for that is very similar to Something New.
Firstly, in both videos they have choreographed a dance routine in which they do together as a band. It shows off the obvious friendship between them but also that they are all lively and energetic.
The choices of outfit in both videos go with the Pop Genre as they are dressed in party wear. They are also wearing bright colours which emphasises the energy between them. The two photos below show the dance routine and outfits the girls are wearing in Love Machine (left) and Something New. (right)
Furthermore, in both of these videos, there are shots of the girls smiling and laughing showing that they are having a good time and are fun-loving.
