• This music video conforms to the Simon Firth theory as it tells a story.
• This midshot shows the condition of her clothing, the wreckage in the back allows the audience to understand the current circumstance.
• The leopard print cravatte reflects her surroundings of being in the jungle and in the ‘wild’ following the theme of the story and music video.
• She is positioned in front of the man she was with; she is by herself, slowly introducing the idea of being independent and the topic of female independence.
• This over the shoulder shot subverts from the the stereotype of females being less able. The shot shows Katy Perry use her high heels to make a spear.
• This shot also reflects independence and the message that material possessions aren’t a necessity and survival is more important.
• The shot height is relatively low, thus showing the view of an animal in the jungle, for example; a tiger.
