Close-up CU

The Close up is used at eye level in this frame of Lady Gaga’s face. The black background is used to emphasize with the primary colours used on Lady Gaga’s face. The white base makeup shows a clear contrast between the black head covering and surroundings. This makes her face the key focus of the shot. The shape of the blue eye make up has could symbolise tears and sadness by the pulled motion made by her hands. This could be also seen as desperation. Some could view this as again being trapped and oppressed inside a comical ‘clown’ stereotype when in actual fact breaking out of that mould is messy. The makeup is a cover up of her nature face, she hides behind the name of Lady Gaga. There is a element that clowns can be entertainment and some find as a fear. It shows that some will love and some will hate her work.
