Lady Gaga - Our Influences - Play Misty For Me (1971)



Play Misty For Me (1971)

Lady Gaga - Our Influences - Single White Female (1992)




Single White Female Film (1992)

We have been influenced by this due to the plot which will be the basis for our narrative. This is because there is 2 women who flat shares with another woman who becomes so obsessive by her. By becoming like the other woman. 

Lady Gaga - Our Influences - Desperately Seeking Susan



Madonna - Desperately Seeking Susan 1985

We have been influenced by this due to the plot which will be the basis for our narrative. This is because there is 2 women who the main character would like to become like Madonna. This is shown by 1 woman getting closer to the way Madonna looks doing this by buying the same jacket and then getting the same hairstyle and then ultimately gets mistaked for madonna showing this as a stolen identity.

Instagram - Audience Research


We asked our amazing Gaga fans for some help with our audience research, who is better to ask than the fans themselves? With the use of digitisation and the use of social media we now have access to her fans all around the world from America, Europe, South America, Australia and the UK. We also asked for the fans age range so we could get an idea as to who we should be aiming our music video at. However, many were more than happy to tell us their age which helped pin point exactly where our target audience needs to lie.

CW: VidEG 23 Rolling Stones - Like A Rolling Stone




This video was directed by Michel Gondry. Key points, as usual, are listed below:
  • Music video seems to have a lack of narrative, but no storyline.
  • The video features a somewhat unique approach, looks like a bunch of images and morphing between them.
  • The woman is the main focus
  • Rolling Stones are touched upon, almost like cutaway shots, looking at them in a typical manner, CUs where the singer leans into the camera band behind, typical shots from down the guitar and such.
  • The woman seems to be on drugs or drunk, perhaps taken as the way she sees the world.
  • She seems to be in trouble with some sort of mafia.
  • Seems like, while on the subway, she recalls a car ride with a lover?
  • Parts of the story seem to be missing, perhaps they are the parts where she had blacked out?
  • Then she is at a party to finish



Morph like intro, seems to be various images morphing together/frames deleted but movement kept?
Focus on mc jagger and band, 
Seems to follow woman and some bad luck/lost/confusion/drugs
She seems to be pleading with mob boss then falls/is pushed down stairs. She goes to subway has memories of car ride?
Us woken by woman from train. Runs out and into bar? Abusive person?
V. Psycadellic and weird. 
Then at a party?
Strange video...
