What is the relationship between the lyrics and visuals?
The word “love” is written on a mans head at the beginning of the song and also the word “fame” on another mans head representing the song name except the word fame is instead of game to represent her album. “Have some fun” the relationship between these lyrics and the visuals is Lady Gaga is teasing the men around her in a circle and having some fun in doing this. “Touching ya” when these lyrics are sung the men around Lady Gaga on the train all touch her and run their hands down her body.
What is the relationship between the music and visuals?
The shots change on the beat to the song and as the beat in the song speeds up the shot changes tend to become quicker.
Are there close ups of the artist and star image motifs?
As shown above there are several close – ups of Lady Gaga throughout the music video, these are mainly to show her make up and features on her face like the diamonds on the side (above) to the audience.
Is there reference to the notion of looking?
Voyeuristic treatment of female body (Lady Gaga) - all the men are watching her as she dances around and teases them – having fun. There are many times Lady Gaga looks into the camera which relates to the theory of Mulvey's theory claiming that male characters are "bearers of the look" which is aimed - far more often than not - at physically desirable, sexually submissive female characters the reason for looking into the camera.

Are they any intertextuals references?
An intertextual reference I have found; at the end of the music video - Lady Gaga is wearing gloves a similarity to that of Michael Jackson wearing a glove perhaps trying to make the same personal feature of a symbol relating to certain things who of which she has been influenced by. Another intextual reference I have found is that all of Lady Gaga's music videos all make use of strange and unusual costumes and usen of features placed on her face all the way from her first single "Just Dance" 2008 to her current single "Alejandro" 2010.
Is the music video performance, narrative or concept – based?
Is the music video performance, narrative or concept – based?
The music video of Lady Gaga, Love Game is more performance based, because they appears to be a constant dance routine from start to finish of accurate moves being executed in time with the songs beat.
Conclusion
From answering the questions above I have found out the different elements that are considered when making a music video so that it suits its target audience and appeals to them and the way in which they are used to do so.
