Deconstruction of Geri Halliwell - It's Raining Men


This song is pop, musical and it features in Bridget Jones, it uses intertextuality as Fame and Flashdance relate to this and are an inspiration.
- Dance matches with beats in music
- Made to look like New York with cabs
- Camera and music reflect her moves - camera goes down reflecting the lyrics
- Kisses judge - uses sexuality which shows a power shift
- Contrast boxer, ballet dancer - shows dedication and can relate to being a solo artist
- Low angle - makes her seem more superior
-Voyeurism - people outside watching her
- Whilst doing sit ups she has a dog with her which shows realism
- Camera uses close-ups to sell her new image/body after leaving Spice Girls and her clothing is very revealing which supports the Male Gaze (Laura Mulvey).
