(TASK 2) PART B (Initial Research) - Annotation of "Anaconda" (Nicki Minaj)

I used the technology of Spider Scribe to complete a short analysis of Nicki Minaj's video to her hit song "Anaconda." I like the change of mood in the video, from natural and upbeat, to sexy, sensual and a club atmosphere at the end. I would definitely change the mood in my music video, as I think it
makes it more appealing and exciting to watch.

Here are some stills from the video:

Medium close up of Nicki in a sports bra, lifting weights. In this scene, she does not appear as sexually aggressive.

This long shot shows the audience Nicki with her entire dance crew, who are wearing something similar to money pouches. This prop presents these girls as independent and ambitious and this is shown through the prop of high heels as well. They have a formal element a, but their costumes and positions indicate pure sex appeal. Therefore Nicki is shown to have a dual personality.

Medium close-up of Nicki bent over a gym mat - highlighting her almost bare bottom with a thong, and fiery expression. Mainly demonstrating sex appeal and control, but the colour usage still adds a feminine softer side to her character.
