In my presentation I will be researching all about Robin Thicks 
music video Blurred lines. The song is Blurred lines written by two 
of the artist that appear in the video, Robin Thick, Pharrell Williams 
and Clifford Harris, Jr. The release date of Blurred line was March 
26, 2013 and made by the music record company Star Trak records. 
The Genre of this music video can be classed as R+B, disco and also 
funk. The amount of views this music video has since it was 
released is 36,785,138 on sites like YouTube and vivo. 
When the video was released in 2013 it coursed so much bad press 
because on the way the women in the video are being treated. The 
words sang in the song are about the subject of rap and you are 
able to see as the viewer Robin Thicke being bad towards the 
women in the video and is treating them like trash. As a resuilt of 
this video some places of work have banned this song from being 
played and also a lot of uni’s have banned this song aswell from 
being played.
The gender audience of the music video of 
Robin Thicke Blurred lines is more favored 
towards men than women because of the 
nature of the video. The video consists of 
women being half naked and the artists/ 
singers in the video treating the women as 
object, demeaning the women in the video. 
It could also be a video that women watch 
and think this is the way men should be 
towards them. 
Men and women will look at the video in 
totally different ways, for example men may 
look at the video and think its ok to act this 
way to wards women ( bad and demeaning). 
Where as women may look at the video and 
think its ok to act treated this way and let 
the man be this way towards them.
The age range of the video women would be 
around from 14 years of age up to around mid 
20's. Child of a younger age than 14 would not 
really watch this video because of the women 
and a bit rude to viewers under this age. Also if 
someone of a younger age who watches the 
music video, pacifically young girls may watch 
the video and think its ok for men to treat the 
way the men are treating the women in the 
video, demeaning and belittling them. It could 
also be the same reason for younger boys who 
may look up to Robin Thicke and think later in 
life it is ok the be this way towards women/ 
treat them badly.
Specific interest 
The main specific interest in the video what 
Robin Thicke wants you to look at the women 
in the video, The audience (men) may look at 
the women in the video and may have a high 
standard when going out with a women and 
not really giving normal women a chance. 
Another specific interest is the fashion aspect 
of the video, clothing in the video, hair and 
accessories. The clothing in the video apart 
from the women dress the men a dressed to a 
high standard with accessories like hats, ties 
but the classiness of the way they are dressed 
are over shadowed by the how the women are 
dressed and thats what the audience is looking 
at the most and women may think after seeing 
someone like Robin Thick use the women like 
this in the video think it ok to dress in next to 
nothing.
Deposable income 
The deposable income for the video is thinks 
like the clothing that Robin Thicke wears , even 
if you don't earn a lot of money you can still go 
in to a shop like Primark and still get the high 
standard of cloths for a cheaper price that are 
used in the video. You may if you earn a lot of 
money may buy thinks like the hate worn by 
Pharrell Williams, the finer things in the video. 
So it doesn't really matter in you have a high 
amount of income or a lower amount of 
income you can still go to a shop and buy 
clothing/ accessories that you can see in the 
music video.
Geo demographic 
The type of towns, city and suburbs may all 
watch this video but may affect someone who 
lives in a town/ city because someone who 
lives in the country side if old person and not 
really the age range of the video, where as in 
the city/ town a lot of teenagers/ young adults 
which are more the age range of the video 14- 
25 years of age. And it may also depend in 
which country you live in aswell because the 
country you live in someone like Africa 
because certain parts of Africa do not have the 
internet and are unable to watch the video. 
But in country like America certain states/ uni's 
may have banned people or a law against 
about watching the video because of the 
content.
Life ambitions 
The ambitions are to make young people to 
look up to Robin Thick in the video, to make 
him seem like a role model. But he doesn't 
come off as a good role model and because he 
should be a role model more young people 
may copy him in the video. Young guys will 
look up to Robin Thicke later on in life and 
think it is fine to be this way towards women 
be demeaning towards them.
Positive Negative comments 
“ the women in this video are insanely 
hot.” 
“The men in the video are good 
looking.” 
“ women in the are treated as sex 
objects.” 
“treated as slaves.” 
“ men demeaning towards women.” 
“ Robin Thicke does not have any respect 
towards women.”
