Katy Perry- 'I Kissed A Girl'.

Below are screen shots from the video for 'I Kissed A Girl' By Katy Perry

In this first shot, we see a close up of the artists' legs laying on a bed. From the beginning of the video, the artist is sexualised to the audience, with close up shots of parts of her body. This would appeal to the male audience viewers, who enjoy looking at her body, but also to the female audience members who look up to her, and aspire to look or be like her. The use of the muted shades create a girly and innocent feel to the shot, which is later contrasted. 

In this shot, we again see the artist lying on  bed, which immediately creates a sexual atmosphere. The muted shades seen before are now contrasted with her dark hair and the red cushions, which again add to the sexual feel of the video. The use of the toy bunny as a prop in the bed brings out the girly, playful and innocent side to the video and the artist. This ensures that the video is not entirely sexual, but remains with a innocent side to make it appeal to the younger viewers. 

In this close up shot of the artist's face, the use of sight lines create a flirty and sexual mood. Throughout the video there are countless shots of the artist looking directly to the camera. The effect of this is that the audience becomes drawn into the video, and are made to feel like it is them she is singing to. 

This shot is contrasted to the earlier ones, as now there is a much more sexual feel to the scene. The artist is shown in black lingerie, along with a group of girls dressed the same. The dark lace of their underwear is contrasted to their pale skin, and the pretty, girly roses and flowers on the wall in the background. 

This is one of the final shots of the video, and show the artist in bed, next to her boyfriend (reference in song 'hope my boyfriend don't mind it'), waking up from the dream in which she 'Kissed A Girl'. This twist at the end makes the video appear comical and emphasizes the fun, playful side of the artist and her music.
