Pink- Stupid girls
Comprises of a narrative throughout the entire video, without the
use of performance or routines, similar to our own ideas.
The video begins with a young girl watching television (NOTION OF LOOKING. A.Goodwin) where animations
of an angel and devil appear, the angel persuading her not to follow the crowd and be a ‘stupid girl’ and the
devil arguing the opposite. Instantly this introduces a serious topic, but the use of animations puts a more
mocking interpretation on the issue. This use of effects is something recognisable in other videos of the genre,
such as Smash Mouth’s.
The notion of looking is subtly reminded throughout the video as cuts between shots is aided with a transition
that’s similar to that ‘fuzzy’ effect when changing TV channels.
There’s also something about the use of a child that helps to strengthen the message
within the lyrics, perhaps because children have connotations of naivety and our
instinct is to protect them. It’s also much ‘cuter’ to watch than a teenage girl,
improving the concept of video while making it more entertaining to watch. This use
of age and the effect it has on the audience is something to think about in our own
music video.
The video ends
on a similar shot
before the girl
choses the
football over her
dolls creating a
full circle/closed
narrative. Again
something to
think about as
works well.
Use of saturation is also used to
consolidate the message being given-
that girls who stand up for themselves
and show intelligence are less popular
and less socially excepted, where as
those who are interested in boys and
impressing them with a lack of clothes
and makeup and more accepted. This
is reflected in the saturation of the
shot as the first is less saturated with a
grey tone, and the second is vibrant in
colour.
Deals with serious issues. Cross cuts between different scenes of stupidity.
Shots like these play on typical
stereotypes of rich, ‘stupid’
girls such as the female celeb
with her chiwawa, fake tan,
and even serious issues like
bulimia and costmetic surgery.
The relationship between
lyrics and visuals is strong, as
the visuals are being used to
illustrate the message of the
snog. By using these
stereotypes the visuals are
able to not only illustrate but
amplify them as most will
acknowledge the stereotypes.
Each stereotype is pushed to
an extreme which creates
humour, making serious issues
easier to watch for the
intended audience which is
presumably young/teenage
girls, although it could
resonate with anyone. Despite
the funny side to inflating
boobs and bright orange skin
it still succeeds in making it’s
point- that behaving like this is
unnecessary and it’s okay to
be yourself, even if that makes
you different.
The video also follows another of Goodwin’s conventions by dealing with the idea of voyeurism,
although arguably from an unusual view point as it’s a female making fun of the fact that males
are shallow when it comes to looks.
The order of shots in this scene shows a young, physically attractive girl, followed by a shot of a couple. Through an
eyeline match we know the male half of the couple is looking towards the other ‘attractive girl’. The medium shot
shows enough detail to see other woman is looking towards her date in dismay, so she proceeds to pull a tag that
inflates her bra. This again is a comical element which links to the idea of safety jackets on a plane with the ‘pull in
case of emergency tag’, but the result is that her date then looks towards her in the same way he looked at the
younger girl, almost impressed. The whole sequence sets the male up to look shallow, and is essentially the artist’s
way of saying this is what boys are like, and the fact she tries to impress him in such an exaggerated way mocks this
and suggests we shouldn’t try to impress people for attention.
Again this well framed shot shows a similar situation where the
fitness instructor pays the slimmer girl with less clothing on more
attention, and leaves P!nk to feel she has to take her t-shirt off in
order to gain his attention.
