Taken 3 Review

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Never Gonna Give You UP
1.Rick Astley and producer is Stock Aitken Waterman
2.  Record label 1987/RCA/ PB41447
3.  The target audience is aimed at teenage girls because it has a man as the main person in the video.
4. There is no narrative the video is just Rick Astley singing and dancing.
5. The camera angles keep changing to give you close ups on Rick Astley's  face and also then zooming out to show him dancing. The effects are dimmed colours with brightened lighting but a dark scene.
6. The scene is a dark tunnel or below a bridge with Rick Astley dancing while wearing a trench coat but there is no noticeable makeup that he is wearing.
7.The video as so successful because the person singing it was so famous at the time and was very attractive to teen girls of that team. As well as the song being very catchy and well known.
