1. Background information
Into my artist
1) The song ‘you don’t know me’ is written by my artist not by
someone else working for the Liberty records. My artist
expresses how she feels about society and conforms to
these expectations in her lyrics and video narratives. My
artist represents different groups in society representation
through the media for example. My artist uses this to enthuse
her into writing lyrics about how she feels about these
representations. Her feelings are portrayed through her lyrics
and video narrative. In ‘you don’t know me’ she reinforces
these stereotypes, however at the end the stereotypes are all
subverted by a spin to the narrative. This makes it apparent
that all the stereotypes and misrepresentation influential
institutes such as the media have are wrong and need to end
as the consequences on the target is damaging emotionally.
As a result of this the generation used as scapegoats will
become resentful and may end up conforming. My narrative
overcomes these prejudices.
2) My artist has not personally gone through the exact situation
in the narrative. However the emotions behind the narrative
and lyrics she has. The main theme is loneliness, my artist
has gone through this emotion similar to the target audience.
My artist writes these songs to make her audience (age
group) feel a part of a wider group and not to feel alone or
isolated, as they will realize this through the song and video.
