Website Analysis - Katy Perry



This is the homepage to Katy Perry's website, it is very colourful and draws the audiences eye towards the pop star in the middle of the screen. At the top right hand side of the page there is a navigation bar in which the users can use to travel around the page with ease. This allows the users to easily get to the pages they want and therefore causing less frustration among the audience and website users. This website holds lots of information about the star and dates of her concerts that are upcoming.

There is a tab on the top right of the navigation bar on the screen in which holds the information about the pop stars social media sites. This is a prime example of intertextuality as this has her other media sources in her website. The amount of social network involved around the pop star on this website shows that she likes to keep in touch with her fans and therefore having a user friendly website allows that. The user friendly website allows the users to gain access to all of her social media and also contact her. At the bottom of the page there is also Katy's social media address, this is well places as this allows the users to often see the social media address so therefore they are more likely to follow / like them which would increase the stars value.

The simplicity of the website allows the website to load quickly so therefore allows the users to not lose patience with the site which could further lead to the users spending more time on the site and not logging off. The simple design is very effective and easy for the computer to load so therefore being a win win situation due to the fact that load time will decrease and its less for the audience to take in which could cause less confusion.

The navigation has been mentioned however this is a key part to any website as this allows the users to gain access to all of the information on the page as quickly as possible or if the navigation is poor this could lead to slow navigation which could then lead to users leaving the site.

Todorov's Narrative Theory

There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include: Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning. Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption. Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on. Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium). Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.

Evaluation 3

There is currently no feedback on our music video as well as the digipak and the website. The only communication we have with our audience is from a survey about music videos in general. We learnt that our main audience were teenagers that mostly all agreed that music videos made songs much better. This is good news for us, as we have picked a genre of song (hip-hop/rap) that generally appeals to a younger target audience Results also show that they thin the main purpose of a music video is to entertain, as a result, we have attempted to make the music video as entertaining as possible. We did this through trying to make it aesthetic as well as relatable. The survey also shows that people think aesthetics is also very important, therefore we tried to focus on some interesting shots in our music video to try and match what people think.  Results also indicate that our audience tend to enjoy both music videos with narrative and performance at the same time. As a...

Intended Institution Analysis

This is a post that explains what intended institution we will want to have. This consists of the TV institution in which we would like the music video to be presented on. A lot has to be taken into account when choosing the TV station, this would consist of the kind of viewers that watch the stations. For example it would be a bad idea to have the music video shown on a classical music channel when the target audience for the video is between 16-30 aged people. also the viewers of that channel would most likely not like the video so therefore it would get bad reviews and a name. Will and i have chosen to use the TV channel 'VEVO' to present our video as this is a well known music channel and the majority of viewers of the channel are within our target audiences ages. this would be a very effective channel to use as it would most likely get out to the intended audience and also would act as a way of getting the video some popularity and feedback from the audience.
