Research Into The Website
We decided that we were going to create the home page for our website for one of our ancillary tasks. I decided that it was going to best if i researched into the bands and artists websites that we were idolising through our music video. This was Lady Gaga, The Saturdays and The Pussycat Dolls. As i was researching i found that there was a major difference between Lady Gaga's website and the Saturdays, this was because Lady Gaga's was very dark and all of her pictures were in black and white, along with the heavy dark black background. Her website was very weird and dark and mysterious. This contrasted that of the Saturdays, who had a light blue background and their images and colours that they used were very girly and exactly what you would expect a garlands website to be like.
I think that they are so different because the views and belief of the two different acts are very different. Lady Gaga aims to be very different and controversial, this is shown through her feminist side with the picture of her body covered in raw meat - this is to show how women are viewed by men, and she is showing that she does not believe that it is right, and if men are going to treat and view women as meat, then they she will dress like it. However there is also the anti feminist side to Lady Gaga which is all of the images and videos where she is barely dressed. This shows that she does not mind about men looking at her dressed in barely nothing.
the Saturdays aim to be more family friendly and by aiming their image to be more friendly and beautiful as apose to being sexy makes their target audience range a lot wider. The fact that Lady Gaga's main image is her with red lipstick this shows that she is sticking to the theme of sexy, and relating her pictures to do with sex as the red and black colours that are consistent through the website could be to do with brothels and sex, this shows that she believes that the sex appeal that she sticks to works and sells this is why show uses it.
