Personally, I cannot STAND Katy Perry’s poor
excuse of music, she can’t sing, she just speaks and shouts the words. But
putting my hatred for her aside, I LOVE her style so it all evens out in the
end. Especially the music video for her song ‘Extra-terrestrial’ as it oozes of
artistic flare and has such a unique and different spin on the outer space look
which has been re-enacted so many times over the years. Towards the end of the
video, where Perry kisses the male in the video to turn him from robot to alien
(I think?!), and the way her hair has been styled, with many plaits and braids,
I found this quite influential as I found there was quite a few tribal
references.
The use of contouring in this music video as well
is exceptional and as this is something that I wanted to focus on for both my
editorial and catwalk shoots, I found this video inspirational as it gave me
good ideas and expanded my horizons when it came to the final looks. With all
of the looks throughout the video, different colours, tones and shades, the
contouring really defines the shape of Perry’s face, not just to define the
cheekbones. The detail around the eyes and shading along the nose connecting to
the brows is something which is key in my looks so the precision is helpful to
look at, working similar as a guideline for me.
