The concept of the video is to show two plane crash survivors who have to live in the jungle. The female becomes confident and is crowned queen of the jungle.
2.What
is the plot or narrative of the video?
The narrative of the video is that two people are the survivors of a plane crash. Katy's boyfriend is the confident one to start with; he takes selfies and leads the way. he is later eaten by a tiger, and this means that Katy has to survive on her own. She makes friends with the animals and becomes a confident person. She has fought her fears and has her own coronation where she becomes queen of the jungle.
3.What
elements of intertextuality can
be seen?
In the video, there are references to the Jungle Woman, Tarzan/Jane of the Jungle and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
4.What
are the main events in the plot?
The plane crashes, she is left alone because her boyfriend is eaten by a tiger, she becomes friends with the animals, she roars at the tiger which shows she is the powerful one and then the coronation.
5.How
was the mise en
scene managed?
The mise en scene is managed by using a real location, with real animals.
6.What
is the message of the video? How does this relate to Star Theory?
The message of the video is that you can overcome your fears. It shows that if you're a little unconfident at the beginning, you will always come out stronger. This relates to star theory as Katy has developed a character and a persona as a strong female.

7.How
does the video relate to Todorov’s
theory?
I feel that this video relates in some ways to Todorov's theory, and sometimes it doesn't. The video starts out with an event (the plane crash) and continues on with more events such as Katy's boyfriend being eaten by the tiger. The equilibrium is disturbed when this happens. This is then changed back into the equilibrium state, where Katy is crowned queen of the jungle and everything is solved.

8.How
does the video relate to Propp’s
theory?
The video relates to Propp's theory, as at the beginning we are introduced to the two characters. Katy, in my opinion, is seen as the 'princess', as she seems quite unsure on what to do and is unconfident. The male character makes out that he is the 'hero', however, this is turned around as Katy is more like the hero in the end.
9.Why
was the video made?
The video was made to entertain the audience, match with the lyrics and show the bravery of Katy Perry. I think that this shows that Katy has become much more confident in herself and is showing that she has grown up.

I think that they do link with the video, as the concept of 'Roar' is to show her power. The video shows that she has to fend for herself and this is also portrayed through her lyrics; "a fighter", "'cause I am a champion". At the end of the video, she is seen to be taming the tiger by her roar; this links with the lyrics towards the end of the song.
Lyrics:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly
Agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing
So I fell for everything
(Pre-Chorus)
You held me down but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
(Chorus)
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
You’re gonna hear me roar
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero
To my own hero
(Pre-Chorus)
You held me down but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
(Chorus)
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
