Lady GaGa- Judas



1. Genre Characteristics 
  • Motor way & Biker bar setting. The characters in this video reveal that it is in fact a Bikers bar.
  • Representation of "Biker life style" riding on their Harley Davison in a big wolf like pack, their behavior of the bikers is rough and Deadly.
  • Lady GaGa in the video is dressed in a very minimal biker jacket and bottoms. 
2. Relationship between lyrics & Visuals
  • Jesus's despoils have their names on the back of their jackets.
  • Choreography in time with lyrics and lyrics in time with choreography
  • Visuals bring lyrics to life, in a narrative manor
  • Overall images illustrate the lyrics, sometimes subtle and some obvious, the general theme of the song is betrayal in love, the video shows this.
3. Relationship between music & visuals 
  • Video is choreographed in time with the lyrics 
4. The demand of the record labels with close ups
  • A lot of shots of Lady GaGa most of which are long and close ups
  • There are also long, mid and close ups of Jesus and Judas as there are both important roles of the video
5.Reference to motion of looking/ Voyeurism 
  • Scopohilic treatment of men and women back up dancers, this is strange for a male to be portrayed like this in a music video, although GaGa has been know for represent men like this in some of her other music videos, such as Aleandro or Born this way.
6. Intertexual References 
  • None noticed
