Representation in my music video
The document discusses representation in music videos. It notes that women are often sexualized through provocative dancing and clothing, while men are typically portrayed as masculine and dominant. Some artists like Adele, Meghan Trainor and Lorde challenge these stereotypes with empowering lyrics and avoiding sexual objectification. The document also discusses using lighting, costumes, and location to positively portray the female artist as confident and trendy without relying on stereotypes. Audience research was conducted to appeal to the target demographic of 17-21 year old girls by including relatable elements like biking.
Star Theory- Beyonce
Gramsci's concept of hegemony refers to the dominance of one social class over others through not just political and economic control, but also by shaping popular perceptions of "common sense" and "natural" views that benefit the dominant class. This hegemony requires ongoing consent from subordinate classes that must be continually maintained, as people's real social experiences can undermine the dominant ideology through reminding them of the disadvantages of subordination. Thus, hegemony involves an ongoing struggle over ideology at the intersection between a society's dominant views and the lived experiences of subordinate groups.
Digipak research
This document analyzes and summarizes the visual design elements of digipaks for Taylor Swift's 2012 album "Red" and Kate Bush's 1986 compilation album "The Whole Story".

It also includes lyrics and quotes from Taylor. In contrast, Kate Bush's digipak uses a simple black and white aesthetic with photos of just Kate and minimal design elements.
Pretty Hurts Music video analysis 2
The music video for Beyoncé's song "Pretty Hurts" depicts the pressures and unrealistic standards of beauty faced by women competing in a beauty pageant. Through scenes of Beyoncé vomiting, exercising excessively, and breaking down after losing the competition, the video sends a message about the negative impacts of society's obsession with physical perfection. Stylistic elements like revealing costumes, pink and yellow tones, and close-ups emphasize the objectification and scrutiny of the women's bodies. While adhering to conventions of the pop genre, the video uses Beyoncé's star power to spread an important message to its target audience of teenage and young adult women.
Analysis of Little Mix’s Song ‘Black Magic'
Little Mix's "Black Magic" music video is primarily illustrative, showing the lyrics come to life. It references witch shows like "Charmed" through its portrayal of the girls using magic.

The video both amplifies and contradicts elements of the song through its visuals and story.

This document analyzes and summarizes the album covers of "Marques Houston Naked" and "Omarion 21". For Marques Houston, a medium close-up image sells his image to female audiences through voyeurism and eye contact. The brown color scheme complements his skin tone. For Omarion 21, the title directly relates to the visual of the confident 21-year old artist. His open shirt and suit reflect maturity and elegance in R&B. Both covers feature basic backgrounds and prominent placement of the artist's name to make them the clear focal point.
Rihanna
Rihanna is a Barbadian singer born in 1988. She was signed at age 16 and her debut album sold over 2 million copies. Her music spans genres like R&B, reggae, pop, dancehall, hip-hop and dance-pop. Early music videos like "Pon de Replay" showed her youthful side with some exposed areas attracting male attention.

Younger fans may see her oversexualized image as a role model, though she is also seen as strong for speaking out about an abusive relationship.
Assignment 6 pp version
This document discusses Miley Cyrus' career trajectory and changing image over time. It notes that early in her career with Disney, she targeted kids and teenagers with a wholesome country image. However, she increasingly adopted a more sexualized, party-oriented pop star image with videos promoting wild behavior. This was an effort to appeal to younger audiences and shift away from her Disney roots. The document also contrasts the image-focused strategies of mainstream artists seeking wide appeal versus the music-focused independence of artists appealing to niche audiences.
Artist analyse
This document analyzes the mise-en-scene of photographs of six different musical artists/bands and how they represent the genres of music: Nicki Minaj represents hip hop through heavy makeup, minimal clothing, jewelry and a provocative pose; George Ezra represents folk/blues with his guitar and Elvis-inspired hair while the black and white emphasizes gentle music; The 1975 represent indie rock with black clothing including a leather jacket and tattoos along with stern expressions; One Direction represents pop through their clean cut appearance and child-friendly smiles while centered around Harry Styles; The Black Veil Brides represent hard rock with black clothing featuring rips and accessories along with aggressive poses and an informally balanced photograph.
Analysis Of Magazine Adverts
1) The magazine advert uses bright, girly imagery of a dollhouse and flowers to suggest pop music, but the lyrics are unconventional. This contrast was likely intentional to break conventions and make the artist more interesting.
2) The image takes up most of the advert and shows the artist looking at the camera, creating a direct address. This hints at deeper emotions but her defiant expression shows a focus on attitude and rebelliousness.
3) Black and gold colors catch the eye through their breaks from conventions, selling the artist's brand and love of "bling".

Goodwins Theory
Goodwin's theory of music videos consists of 8 principles:
1. Links between lyrics and visuals (e.g. punching a wall matching lyrics in "Love the Way You Lie")
2. Links between music and visuals (e.g. flashing lights syncing to drops in "This Is What You Came For")
3. Genre characteristics (e.g. rock videos focusing on bands, rap videos involving drinking)
4. Intertextual references
5. Notions of looking at the camera to involve audiences
6. Voyeurism of watching others (mostly women) in sexual ways
7. Demands of record labels regarding artist representation
8. Focus on performance

This photo was taken at night during a snowstorm, capturing the hazy orange glow of streetlights against the backdrop of clouds. One streetlight shining through a tree adds nice effect. There is no single focal point in the photo, as it aims to show the entire landscape and sky in focus. The mountain fills the entire frame, so blurring parts of it would detract from appreciating the whole scene. Good composition is achieved by including smaller, farther mountains to provide perspective on the main mountain's size, aided by a cloud hovering in front of it.
