Further analysis of Halsey's performance

Once you have completed all questions from the previous post, you should conduct a deeper analysis of Halsey's Live Lounge appearance.

Listen again to the episode, which is now available on the BBC website and Sounds app:

Focus on things that are said and what this suggests about the audience and the representation of the artist.

For example, when she talks about her fans, what does she say about the gifts she receives? What does this show about the audience and how Halsey feels about them?

What are Halsey's interests? What does she talk about? What sort of person do we think she is (based on this appearance)?



Now, watch the performance in the Live Lounge.

What are the benefits of being able to see the artist performing? Explain how this would appeal to an audience.

For example, they can relate to her more if they can see her. It adds a new dimension and we can see the emotion, what she is wearing and build up a better picture of who the performer is.

Makes notes on the fact that radio is traditionally just something you can hear, but audiences can now watch radio performances too.

Look at how this has been shot. Focus on the types of shot, location, mise-en-scene and explain how these things may appeal to an audience.

For example, there are close up shots of Halsey which allow the audience to feel close to her.

Also, consider what she is wearing, her tattoos, the lighting, what is in the studio, etc.
