Is there a relationship between music and the visuals? The visuals also represent the music in a strong way, as the visual dance moves within the video go with the beat and the way the editing is cutting from each scene goes to the beat of the video. An example of this is when Lady gaga and the back in dancers are dancing in the cells, the moves and editing used here go with the music of the song.
What is the importance of the artist in the visuals? The importance of the artist is shown clearly through the visuals, as throught the video she is centred in the video with others behind her, for example in the dance scenes.

This video is also similar to other videos done by Lady Gaga, as her videos are shown as weird and unique.

What is the mixture in the video between performance and narrative? There is many different points in the video where there is a narrative being told to illustrate the lyrics, however there is more performance showing the artist and selling the artist to the audience throughout the video.
