Allusion is when an artists who produces a video is trying to sway viewers into a way of thinking they are suggesting what the videos meaning is about but are not giving out the full meaning. So they allude towards a certain topic, an example of when this has been done by an artists would be in the lady gaga marry the night full length video. Lady gaga stated that there would be something of meaning from her past in the very beginning of the video this is putting the viewers into a way of thinking, they are now speculating what it could be whilst they are watching the video. At the beginning of the video lady gaga is on a stretcher bed in hospital and is being wheeled into a room by two nurses. She then has a short conversation with a nurse stating how she is going to make it through. She is giving hints and suggestions to the audience which is alluding them. People have speculated that from her being in hospital a womens clinic could suggest she has had an abortion. Or it could be said that she has had previous mental health issues. The viewers are not going to understand the full meaning but lady gaga has given clues to what it could be.
