Assignment 2-1 Weekly Analysis: Katy Perry's E.T. Video



When it comes to music, I am old school.  Give me 80’s and 90’s music and I am happy.  I really don’t care for new stuff until my daughters introduced me to Katy Perry’s “Extraterrestrial” song.  I have seeing her on TV and magazines which had made her a pop culture phenomenon but had never listened to any of her songs.  I have to say, I like her voice and when I saw the video, I was sold.  It is a colorful, five minute, Sci-Fi video that shows an alien (Katy Perry) swirling and floating out in space as if searching for something or someone.  She arrives to an apocalyptic looking Earth.  Among the devastation, she finds a human looking robot containing what appears to be a human inside.  She “resurrects” him and they both walk off into the sunset.  The video features Kanye West.  I am a visual person and I just loved this video packed with special effects.  She looks amazing with the make-up and costumes.  This is the only work I have seeing of her.  I am looking forward to her next project.
