How does Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' conform and subvert to the codes and conventions of a typical pop video?

There are several ways in which Lady Gaga's video subverts and conforms to typical pop music codes and conforms, is a an alternate amplification video where the direct message of her lyrics is often not consistent with the narrative of the video which is strange and uses almost psychotic iconography which subverts the norm she still conforms to the typical solo artist performance codes as she like in many conventional music videos such as Katie Perry's 'Firework' who as the start is the focal point and consistently uses direct address.

  1. your analysis was so in depth that it was like a oil drill drilling for the last bit of oil. Your writing was on point, like a DECIMAL. Your intriguing sense of knowledge is very intense like the knowledge of dumbledores deepest secrets. Lord Voldemort would approve of this
