JESSIE J - PRICE TAG

Jessie J has a very specific star persona. Her hair always in the same black cut bob with a fringe. She is also known to be fun, girly and energetic which she displays in her music videos. She has a lip fasination in which she displays in her music videos too.

Price Tag begins with a long shot of a teddy bear. A teddy bear is a childish prop to have and Jessie J is known to be childish and immature which is a part of her star persona. The teddy bear is in the center making its purpose important. The background is a girly baby pink and white faded into it making it childish and like a little girls bed room. This represents Jessie J's childish girly star persona.

This is Jessie J leaning on the teddy bear which connotes her childish star persona. She is wearing a dusky pink dress which conforms to her girly persona. She has heels on too which is a girls item emphasisng her girly star persona. Even though this is a long shot the audience know that this is Jessie J in the shot because of her hair being a visual motif.


A close up is used to reveal Jessie J emotion as she is throwing a tantrum. A purple tint is on the shot connoting her girly side suggesting that she is wealthy as purple has connotations of wealth and power. Her performance makes her seem like she is throwing a tantrum like a little child would do which is her subverting her age. However the performance of the tantrum goes with her childish star persona. The close up allows the audience to identify her hair style which she is well known for and it act as a visual motif.

This is a high angle extreme long shot of Jessie J. The pink background is in this again. This is a visual motif in the music video which represents her girly star persona. She is in the center underneath a tree. Her performance shows her as excited under the tree which is similar to how a little child would act.

This is stereotypically a little girls favourite toy during childhood. In this long shot, the audience see Jessie J posing as the toy which connotes her fun girly star persona. She is wearing a very girly dress which is white which connotes innocence and purity. Little children are innocent and pure and therefore this conforms to Jessie J's star persona.

This is a extreme long shot of Jessie J riding a little kids toy of a tricycle. The prop of the tricycle is a little boys toy. This goes with the baby blue background which is a little boys favourite colour stereotypically. The use of the tricycle connotes Jessie J's fun personality however it subverts to her girly personality.

This close up shows Jessie J's lips. In all of Jessie J's music videos she has extravagant lip make up. In this she has pink jewls on her lips making them eye catching and connoting her as having a girly star persona. 

This extreme long shot shows Jessie J and a mini her. The audience know that it is a mini her because of the hair style. The straight black hair with a perfect front fringe is Jessie J's style. The are both composed in the center of the frame reinforcing their importance.

This extreme long shot shows Jessie J sitting on a chair which is too big for her. This is child like and connotes her star persona. Jessie J is composed in the center, regardless of the prop of the chair being bigger than her, her composition regards her as dominant.
