Katy Perry - California Gurls (2010)

California Gurls is a popular song from Katy Perry's album 'Teenage Dream', the video for this song represents Katy Perry's signature style, the video is very bright and colourful she follows the scheme of that everything is candy and that they are living in a 'candy world' hence the bright colours. As mentioned before the use of the icons within her video such as the bright colours, the quirky outfits and the alternative story line indicated that she is associated with the genre pop and not another genre like rock for example, as the video would tend to be dark and follow a more generic narrative. Katy Perry's bold character is shown within her music and the way she dresses, within my magazine I will incorporate the ideas of which Katy Perry has used in this video of using a 'candy world' as a main idea for the cover and the look in which I am going for.

 

 

Rihanna - Only girl in the world (2010)

Linking with Katy Perry, Rihanna is also an inspirational female pop artist who also in her video of 'Only girl in the world' that reached number 1 in 10 different countries, uses bright bold colours that link with genre pop. The video mimics the carefree lyrics to the song, which suggest that she is the "only girl in the world. The video uses the simplistic theme of predominantly focusing on Rihanna frolicking on a hillside with life size flowers placed near her with an array of artistic sceneries and props. Other scenes include Rihanna surrounded by multi-coloured balloons, riding on a swing that hangs from the sky, lying in a bed of flowers and then dancing in front of a tree covered with blinking lights that adds to the surreal imagery.

 

 

Chris Brown - Yeah x3 (2011)

Chris Brown is a male pop artists who has had various hits, within his video of Yeah x3 it includes Chris Brown directing a mob of kids, teenagers and  residents down a street and then cuts to a dance scene, that is choreographed creating a scene which is not of real imagery.

 

From researching the above pop videos I have come to the conclusion to include in my own magazine a sense of surreal imagery on the front cover, such as for example Katy Perry uses a 'candy world' theme, Rihanna uses a surreal setting of her been 'the only girl in the world' and Chris Brown choices a mob dance crew within a city.
