Several theories are then discussed in more detail, finding that elements like genre characteristics and stereotypical portrayals of gender roles can be seen.

Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright' video portrays significant social and political messages through its imagery and symbolism. It represents the oppression faced by African Americans through scenes of police brutality and a lack of female representation. Lamar is depicted as a hero and protector of Compton who will ultimately find peace only in death, as his black skin makes him a target for violence.

Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in 1975, which refers to the perspective through which women are viewed in visual media for the heterosexual male viewer's pleasure.

Jennifer Lopez's music video for "I LuhYa Papi" aimed to challenge conventions of the male gaze by reversing gender roles - showing men as objects for the female gaze rather than women being objectified for male viewers. However, Lopez herself was still dressed provocatively, so the video only partially succeeded in challenging typical gender representations in music videos.

Daniel hopkins final major project treatment (2)danhops888
The short film "More Than A Feeling" will be approximately 3-6 minutes and target 15-25 year olds. It follows a teenage boy deciding whether to go on a date with a girl. His emotions like Common Sense, Sadness, Anger, and Libido debate the decision in his mind. The emotions argue and bully each other. Ultimately, Common Sense rallies a vote where they decide the boy should accept the date. He relays the message to the girl, who is excited. The boy then references the film title while breaking the fourth wall. The film will be made with no budget using cloning editing to depict the emotions arguing.
The document lists the equipment and software Daniel Hopkins plans to use for his final major project, including a Nikon D3100 camera with 18-55mm lens, the possibility of a Canon DSLR, a tripod, a Canon audio recording pack with Zoom H4n, Microsoft Office, MindGenius Education, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, Adobe After Effects CS5.5, and Celtx.
The audience for the filmmaker's comedy short film is intended to be broad, including both young people and older audiences. Young people may associate more closely with the main character and situation of being asked to go out. While the film focuses on the internal emotions and feelings of the young male main character, the filmmaker hopes both genders can enjoy the comedy, which is intended to overshadow the narrative. The humor and themes are influenced by 1970s and 1980s comedy, and it is hoped this style will also appeal to older audiences in addition to teenagers.
The audience for the comedy short film is intended primarily for young people who can relate to the main character's situation of being asked to go out. While the film has mostly male characters, the filmmaker hopes both genders can enjoy the comedy, which is intended to overshadow the narrative. The goal is for the teenage audience and older audiences to both find humor in the film's themes and style, which take influence from 1970s and 1980s comedy.
Comedy sketches are typically very short, usually under a few minutes, in order to quickly grab the viewer's attention and hold it. While brief, sketches still aim to have a clear beginning, middle, and end structure and can develop characters further in a series. The characters are often zany or eccentric to provide more opportunities for jokes and humor. Situations in sketches tend to be funny and centered around jokes about whatever scenario is depicted, such as a person at a party. Many successful sketches studied by the author used wild and unusual characters like a "Green Clarinet Man" who reveals embarrassing truths. A variety of humor styles can be employed including rapid-fire jokes, observational humor, witty one-liners,
The document summarizes Daniel Hopkins' secondary research for how to write a sitcom. It includes researching a book by Marc Blake titled "How not to write a sitcom" focusing on pages 120-140 about jokes and dialogue. It also lists research from comedy video websites CollegeHumor and BBC sketch shows, as well as an article by comedians Richard Herring, David Mitchell and Robert Webb on writing comedy sketches.
Daniel Hopkins conducted a survey to inform his short comedy film project about cloning. Of the 9 respondents, 6 were male and 3 female. All respondents were between 18-24 years old. When asked about favorite genres, 4 selected comedy, while 2 selected fantasy, and 1 each selected action, science fiction, and horror. Respondents rated their enjoyment of comedy highly, with an average score of over 8 out of 10. Most respondents viewed sketch comedy shows positively. They also generally had a positive view of the concept of a cloning comedy short. The survey provided Hopkins with useful information on what respondents thought made comedy funny and what could make his cloning comedy short funny. He plans to incorporate various comedic elements and styles suggested by respondents
This document is a pitch for a short comedy film by Daniel Hopkins. The film will follow a teenager deliberating whether to give his number to a girl who approached him at a bus stop. His thoughts will be visualized through an argument between anthropomorphic emotions in his mind, each resembling the teenager. The emotions will debate what decision he should make, creating conflict, drama, and comedy. The film aims to appeal to teenagers and young adults through its cloning effects and humor, which will be reminiscent of British sketch shows and madcap comedies like Airplane.
The student proposes creating a short comedy film as their final major project. The film will use cloning techniques to feature the actor appearing twice in the same shot as different characters. It will follow a boy dealing with a girl asking for his number by entering his mind where various emotions and traits debate each other. The target audience is males aged 15-25. Production techniques will include using Excel to track progress, writing a production diary, and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Song Title: Blurred Lines (Censored Version)
Artist: Robin Thicke
Directions: As you closely watch the music video, answer the following questions with
as much detail as possible.
1. What are the men/women doing? (Dancing, sitting, swimming, etc.)
The women are generally dancing and seductively playing with the men. At other times they
are dancing on their own, jumping up and down and at several points some of the men
watch. When they are with the men, they are either standing next to them or rubbing
against them suggestively. Another woman is on all fours in a suggestive demeanour. There
are some strange things happening in the video, such as a woman on a large bicycle, a
woman holding a lamb and another holding a giant dice. These may be symbolic references
in the video, suggesting sex (bicycle), innocence (lamb) and chances (dice). The men in the
video are standing and are either watching the girls play and dance or engaging in these
things with them. The main singer (Robin Thicke) hugs one girl and sings into her ear. The
other two men featured in the video seem to be flirting with the girls and watching their
sexualized dancing. One man smokes at one point and chases a woman with a huge syringe
(most likely being used as a sexual symbol).
2. How are the men/women dressed? How much skin is revealed?
The women are dressed in very minimal clothing. They are wearing very short hot-pants,
low cut tops or bras and high heels. A lot of skin is shown, as the clothing is very tight and
reveals lots such as legs and behinds. A lot of cleavage is visible, as one girl is topless in a
couple of scenes (she has her hands covering herself) and also wears skimpy underwear.
The men on the other hand are very well dressed in expensive suits or smart casual clothing.
No skin is revealed on the men, as they keep their clothes on throughout the music video.
3. Are there more, fewer, or the same number of men as women?
There are 3 men and 3 women in featured in the music video and they all seem to be in
pairs throughout.
4. Describe the body language of the men/women: are they sitting, standing, gyrating,
mugging, etc.?
The women move in a sexually suggestive style, walking in a way that shows off various
parts of their body such as bending over, leaning and stretching. As told in the first question
they are usually playing or dancing but, in a very sexualized way with a number of symbolic
references. The women also sometimes play with their hair, while flirting with the men.
When the men and women are flirting, it is very intimate as they hold, rub and hug each
other and at other times the men just stand their and watch as the women play or dance.
2. Unit 29 – Music Video Production
Music Video Analysis Worksheets
5.Do the men/women have power? How do you know?
The men seem to be the dominant gender in this music video; mostly due to the fact they
almost seem to have the girls under their control. The girls dance as though they are owned
and are entirely their for the men’s pleasure. The clothing contrast also makes an impact on
the power balance within the video, as the men wear smart suits while the women wear
tight hot-pants and crop-tops. The more expensive clothes over the short, revealing clothes
suggest male power and dominance.
6. What’s the message of the song?
The main singer of the song wants to make the girl break up with her boyfriend. This is
evident in the fact eh is openly flirting with her throughout the video. Lyrics also enforce the
message such as ‘let me liberate ya’ and ‘that man is not your maker’. Robin Thicke seems
to want to have a sexual relationship with the girl due to the lyrics : “You wanna hug me,
what rhymes with hug me?”. This is a sexual reference referring to a more slang-style phrase
“f*** me”.
7. What type of music is the song?
The song is primarily pop based with elements of RnB.

3. What is the race of the person at the focus of the video?
The main character featured in the video is black/African American
4. What are the black/Latino/Asian/white/Native American/Pacific Islander people
doing?
Throughout, there are only two races represented in the video. The main character is black
and has taken over the night shift from his manager (who is black). She is strict and
repeatedly tells Cudi not to mess up before leaving him with the keys. After the manager
has left, the character sneaks off into a stock room, where he smokes cannabis. He returns
under the effects of the drug. There are regular cut scenes in the video where two girls who
are shop worker (black and white) dance seductively with the backdrop of store products. A
white police-woman enters the store and begins to strip but, this turns out to be the main
characters hallucination. A group of white goth teenagers next come in and once again the
character hallucinates and thinks they are vampires. Just like the police officer they pay and
leave. Next, he hallucinates that a young, scantily clad woman (black) he saw in a magazine
is dancing in front of him. She has hot pants, a very short top and roller skates on. This once
again is a hallucination and it is really an old white woman, who he is about to kiss. He backs
away in disgust and she angrily throws bread at him. The final scene is where he imagines
the two shop-workers and two other women dancing in front of him(two white and two
black).
5. What’s the message of the song?
The lyrics describe his life and drug use. ‘The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night’
line is used frequently throughout as the message of the video is generally about how a
cannabis user has a free and careless mind. The lyrics rarely have something representing
them in the story but, are somewhat relatable to the narrative by generally relating to a
drug-induced mind’s thoughts.
6. What type of music is the song?
The song’s genre is a mixture of hip-hop and house music

Song Title: Smack That
Artist: Akon ft. Eminem
Directions: As you closely watch the music video, answer the following questions with
4. Unit 29 – Music Video Production
Music Video Analysis Worksheets
as much detail as possible.
1. Describe any sexually explicit body language:
The video is set in a strip club, so many of the women in the video are gyrating, dancing or
playing with men. Some dance on poles while men watch or crawl up to them and rub them
in a suggestive manner. Others whisper in the main singers ear (Akon) and touch him over
various parts of his body.
2. Who is more sexualized – men or women? Both?
Women are definitely more sexualized in the video as they are dancing and playing with
men in a strip club. The men however are on the receiving end of this, watching the women
dancing and gyrating. When the women are dancing there is a lot of focus on their cleavage
and behind as their minimal clothing leaves little to the imagination. Due to the sexual
nature of their actions along with their minimal clothing women are sexualized greatly in the
music video.
3. Are there sexually explicit lyrics or messages?
The song is quite blatantly sexual as the title refers to him wanting to hit a girl’s behind.
Some of the lyrics state this too such as “and possibly bend you over, look back and watch
me smack that”. Akon, the singer of the song, is trying to win over girls with his wealth as
some of the lyrics show: “Wanna jump in my Lamborghini Gallardo” and “money no
problem, pocket full of that now”. The lyrics suggest Akon is only using the women for
sexual pleasure.
4. How are subjects of the music video dressed?
Akon is looking for a lost girl in a strip club with a detective. As the video cuts between him
singing in a performance based manner and him being in the strip club, his clothing changes.
At the beginning of the video, he is wearing a prison jumpsuit along with a black head
bandana. When he is seen singing in a dark street he is dressed in a smart coat, white shirt
and golden chain. The casual clothing it is meant to give off the signal that he is a womanizer
or “pimp”. Whilst in the club he wears a smart three piece suit of varying colours. The
detective is dressed in a smart black suit with a white shirt. Eminem is dressed in very casual
clothes; he wears a polo shirt, snapback hat and baggy jeans along with a large gold chain.
The women in the video are very scantily-clad wearing very short hot pants, crop tops, short
skirts and bras. The clothes they wear reveal a lot of skin including cleavage and the
women’s behinds. As the men are more smartly dressed it may be implied in the video that
they are the dominant gender. A barman at the club is dressed in a very scruffy manner,
possibly to show the seedy, horrible manner of the place.
5. Describe the relationships between the men and women: Are they long or short term?
Casual or serious?
5. Unit 29 – Music Video Production
Music Video Analysis Worksheets
As the video is set in a strip club it is most likely that the relationships between the men and
the women is are very casual and very short. This is because the men are only going in there
to exploit the women and to have a good time whereas the women are trying to make some
money. The women are there for the men’s pleasure and are most likely seen as
meaningless to them.
6. What’s the message of the song?
The message of the song is quite obvious due to its title being “smack that”. Akon wants to
smack the behind of a woman, which is shown in the lyrics: “And possibly bend you over,
look back and watch me smack that”. This might however have a more underlying meaning,
such as sexual intercourse. Akon wants nothing more than a quick casual relationship that is
just sex.
7. What type of music is the song? It is a Hip-Hop song.
Music Video Analysis - Materialism
Song Title: Price Tag
Artist: Jessie J ft. B.o.B
Directions: As you closely watch the music video, answer the following questions with
as much detail as possible.
1. Describe the products that are highlighted in the video: (cars, jewellery, clothes, etc.)
There are many materialistic items that feature in the music video. At certain points in the
video Jessie J is seen wearing a large golden necklace and large golden rings. The
appearance of the rings in the video are accompanied by the lyrics: “Ain’t about the chaching cha-ching, Ain’t about the (yeah) ba bling ba bling”. Throughout the video, she wears
earrings, a nose piercing and various clothes such as a ballerina’s outfit, short hot pants and
high heels. Though none are branded many of her clothes look expensive. A cheap-looking
retro toy car is shown alongside B.o.B as he raps, but it is full size and on screen for
approximately 10 seconds. It appears full size as B.o.B and Jessie J are miniaturized with
other toys such as soldiers the same height as them. B.o.B also has jewellery in the form of a
silver chain around his neck and sunglasses. He wears a branded jumper and white nameless
trainers.

The lyrics are supposed to minimize and belittle the importance of money so wealth isn’t
greatly shown in the video. However Jessie J and B.o.B wear flashy clothes such as expensive
dresses, trainers and branded items ( B.o.B wears an adidas jumper). Money is shown
growing on a tree, however “It’s not about the money” so it is rendered worthless in the
universe of the song.
4. Are products mentioned in the song lyrics?
No products are mentioned in the songs lyrics.
5. What’s the message of the song?
The song is meant to put the message across that money isn’t everything. This is seen in
lyrics such as “it aint about the price tag” and “it aint about the money, money, money”.
Jessie J wants “to go back in time, when music made us all unite” and wants to pay “with
love tonight”. There is also hundreds of dollar bills on a tree, referencing the phrase “money
doesn’t go on trees” meaning it isn’t easily obtained. This shows she wants money to be
worthless so everyone is equal and there primary concerns are not money and spending
but, love and kindness.

Music Video Analysis - Violence
Song Title: Stan
Artist: Eminem
Directions: As you closely watch the music video, answer the following questions with
as much detail as possible.
1. Describe any violent lyrics in the song:
I never knew my father neither; he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
This is during Stan’s second letter where Eminem still hasn’t replied to him. He is
trying to relate himself and his life with Eminem as much as possible so this is used
by Stan as something to try and show they are just like each other.

See Slim; [*screaming*] Shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk
but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
This is during Stan’s tape recorded message to Eminem and while he has his
girlfriend in the trunk, heading for a bridge which he intends to drive off. They are
very vivid, aggressive lyrics describing how instead of a quick death he intends to
make her suffer.
____________________________________________________________________
There are aggressive lyrics throughout as Stan describes how he cuts himself (see
question 4) and his anger in the second letter brought on by the lack of a reply from
Eminem: “I just think its fucked up you don’t answer fans”. However he goes onto
say “I aint mad though, I just don’t like being lied to”. During his letters Stan swears
a lot aggressively.
2. Describe any violent body language:
Throughout the video, Stan acts very hostile towards his girlfriend, violently throwing his
hands down and violently swinging his arms when she tries talking to him. He shouts at her
a lot as he seems more preoccupied by other things and get angry whenever she distracts
him. He pushes her away from him and leaves her after he dyes his hair, though she is
shocked by it and wants an explanation. Near the end of the video Stan aggressively pushes
and grabs his girlfriend, before he puts her in the boot.
3. Describe any violent actions or weapons that are shown:
As stated above, Stan is very aggressive to his girlfriend throughout the video but the
pinnacle of violent actions in the video is when he puts his pregnant girlfriend in the boot of
his car and drives off a bridge, killing them both. Before he does this, Stan uses a baseball
bat to destroy his shrine to Eminem, tipping over a table and ripping the posters off the wall.
He also records a message to Eminem on a tape recorder, being extremely violent and
swearing many times.
4. Describe any self-mutilation or violence:
Stan pours bleach over his hair, so it will dye the same colour as Eminem’s – who he is
obsessed with. When he does it, his girlfriend is shocked and voices her opinion: “You’re
taking this too far” but Stan ignores her. It is revealed in Stan’s second letter that he cuts
himself to see “how much it bleeds” and because “its like adrenaline, the pain is such a
sudden rush for me”. This is however not depicted in the video.
5. What’s the message of the song?
The video is about an addicted fan, who is overly-obsessed with Eminem. There is not too
much of a strong message in the video, due to the fact it is a narrative-style music video
based on the fictional character Stan. The lyrics of ‘but your picture on my wall, it reminds
8. Unit 29 – Music Video Production

me that’s it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad…’ represent Stan (who is depressed) and his
basement which is covered with pictures of Eminem to literally remind him that it’s not so
bad. This is showing that he is obsessing over someone else to forget things that have
happened in his life.
6. What type of music is the song? RnB/Rapping, hip-hop, pop
