Yesterday I went to see my latest addiction,
Bad Romance FAIL aka Bad Romance 1.mov on YouTube
I saw this...
"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."
Oh, no ! Yesterday it had 605,969 views
The video is unique... and controversial
The “comments” are part of the story
Some people said terrible things about her; mainly about her weight
Some people also said nice and/or constructive things about the video
Then, there are those who think she's "Troll be trollin' " and she did it for camp or to troll
After many viewings, my opinion has came down squarely on the side of Melissa: Performance Art
Her voice: a pencil sketch over the music
In this overlaid/backdrop vocal, it is hard to discern... but she does have singing ability
Her lower key is just fine, if displayed in another setting
Classical poses
Good scene changes
Good gray on black background
Makes the absolute most out of production values available; most from the least
Hand gestures and dance movements, do they have a meaning?
They refer to the original.
Blur to Focus
"Upward, far away, heroic stare" German Expressionism and propaganda art
Images in her sunglasses
Casualness and full commitment
Pullback to full body shot
Monster Claw dance, refers to original
Good staging, composition and grey/black color choices
Triangle composition Claw Hand Signs
Stays active; moves right along from scene change to scene change
Switch to wearing White, further back dancing with Shadows as backups
Striking poses, refers to original
Claw, pep squad, cheerleader dance, hand and arm signals, also referential to the original
In the cabinet... take her out of the cabinet setting and superimpose other image e.g., pushing/leaning on the world globe
Classical Poses and Composition
Classical Poses and Composition
A lot of attention was paid to Composition and Scene changes
Eye Makeup creative
Great poses
Good close ups
Rock the Boat in a White Dress at 1:56
Claw Paw hand gestures, referential to the original
Red Pants Composition and Classic Poses makes full use of the space
Many people mentioned her shoes, here at 4:04
More great Close ups
4:44 Digging the Eye Makeup
FIRE
