Analysis of whatchasay by Jason derulo
The genre of this song is R ‘n’ B/hip hop
Content man is saying sorry for cheating on his love and he’s basically playing a womanizer but at the same time performing for the camera. Jason is giving a message but its more like a warning to the womanizers out there that you may break up with a woman you love and you probably already broken her heart and she has already moved on fro you and its too late when you realise you love her, you may get other women but not the one.
The camera shots are mostly MCU as Derullo is a debut artist and he is promoting himself. Transitions mostly cuts but go with the beat unless he is playing the womanizer.
Mise en scene
The lighting and colours in this song are neutral and they match his outfit’s lots of white to show sorrow except when he remembers love it turns a purple kind of colour kind of like on the mood ring purple represents love
Jason dresses modern and neutral he wore lots of creams and blacks there is odd colour here and there when he’s with the girls instead of colours of sorrow like blacks and whites and creams
Jason’s body language is exactly what you would expect from an R ‘n’ B artist hunched and head hanging would show that he’s depressed but when his head is high and shoulders are broad and back straight that would represent that he’s happy which only happened when he would remember the times with his love
Represent
In watchasay Jason represents himself as a sentimental person on a girl whilst he gets his fair share of girls
Target Audience
The target audience for this would be 13-25 possibly 31 but not older as it has an urbn vibe older people wouldn't be able to understand.
Denotation
A ma lots of women but made a mistake and is asking for a second chance
Connotation
Warning the rest of the world not to make the same mistake and if you are a womanizer take time with a woman so that you are certain whether or not you love them because if you do...
