In her prime, Debbie Harrie was one of the most sucessful female artists of her time. She was an inconic ledgend who was adored and mimicked by many female fans.She had iconic blonde hair which matched the band name 'Blondie'. Her hair was always messed up to match her pop-rock genre. She always wore 80's rock influenced clothing such as denim shorts, one shouldered dresses and waistcoats. She also always wore sunglasses which could mean two things; star status or vulnerability. To match up with my Atomic song lyric analysis, I have decided to analyse that her sunglasses are used to hide behind the public world of fame and stardom, and that the only place she can be herself is behind these glasses.
For my video, I am deciding to make the main star a young female dressed in modern day style Blondie clothing, with the key item to be sunglasses. She will be dressed beautifally, in edgy yet glamorous clothing and will be in a public place or at one of her shows. Infront of everyone she will act carefree and put on this front that she is alright and tough; when infact she is not, shes weak and vulnerable.
I am deciding to represent the tough price of fame in my music video as I feel the song matches with it. Although I analysed differently before, I am thinking that the lyrics could match upto the fall of fame aswell, such as:
"Make me tonight, tonight make it right" - this could mean that the star has been feeling some form of meltdown for a while now and is wanting tonight to be the night that everything gets better for her and she gets something she really craves and desires in her life to make everything alright.
"Oh your hair is beautiful" - as many current and classic female icons have all had iconic hair, she may think that this is the only thing positive about herself and she is focussing on that and not all the negatives she thinks she has.
"Make it magnificant" - in the context of a breakdown, the star may be abusing substances such as alcohol the blank out her pain from the fame. Many artists and famous celebrities have been known to be dependant on substances so this fits well with the ideology of the video.
"Atomic" - this could represent the final point in her stage of the price of fame; the meltdown. Atomic is widely known as a bomb which can destroy thousands, and this can be represented as fame, the atomic bomb in this persons case is fame and when the bomb goes off, a breakdown happens.
