The document discusses the portrayal of women in various media over time. It argues that women have traditionally been portrayed as sexual objects meant to appeal to a male audience. While some modern portrayals show women gaining independence from men, other media still relies on displaying women in revealing or sexualized ways in order to seem "popular" or sell products, showing how engrained these perspectives remain. The document analyzes several music videos to illustrate its points about both traditional and evolving portrayals of women.

How does our media product represent a particular
This document analyzes how the media product represents social groups such as women and men. It argues that women are represented negatively as overly emotional and mentally unstable. The main character and her niece are shown to have mental health issues stemming from their childhood. Men are represented as cold, emotionless problem-solvers who see mentally ill women as routine cases. However, the document also notes that these representations were not intentional, as the goal was to portray a type of mental illness, not send messages about gender. Choosing a female lead helped use childish props and costumes to link to Alice in Wonderland.
Representation of social groups in media productions
The document discusses the representation of teenagers in films. It notes that unlike many horror films, the film opening did not sexualize the teenage characters. In contrast to Paris Hilton's role in House of Wax, the teenager in this film is depicted in a modest, non-stereotypical way without any sexualization or scenes implying sexual tension. While the teenager is shown in casual clothing, potentially feeding the lazy stereotype, this was intended to better connect with the target teenage audience.
Laura mulvey theory
This document analyzes several music videos and how they relate to Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze. It discusses how the Scouting for Girls video "She's So Lovely" portrays the female character as an object through demoralizing lyrics and camera shots focused on her body. It also analyzes videos by Kylie Minogue and Jennifer Lopez, noting how they use sexuality to attract viewers but also show signs of independence and power. The document provides a detailed evaluation of how the Scouting for Girls video agrees with Mulvey's theory by exploiting the female character's timid nature and using her as an object of male desire and attraction.
Mulvey theory
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze to describe how women are typically represented through a heterosexual male perspective as either virginally innocent or sexually active. Media often objectifies women to cater to the wants of most male audiences. Music videos in particular use exaggerated depictions of beautiful women to sell products by attracting male attention. Mulvey also suggests that the act of gazing gives the audience a sense of power over the subject.
Report copy
The document discusses the props and costumes used in the film Radio-Waves. A vintage radio with the printing "sunnylife" was used to contrast the happy implication of the printing with the grave news being reported. A plain white dress symbolized the victim's innocence and highlighted her difference from the antagonist wearing black. Smudged eye makeup on the victim showed her distressed state and suggested her death was water-related. Roughly laced black shoes on the antagonist reinforced his darkness, while bracelets were ultimately not used on the victim to keep her appearance raw and anonymous.
Analyse a music video in terms of femininity
This music video for "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring Pharrell Williams portrays women as sexual objects for the male gaze. Throughout the video, the women are often nude or scantily clad and their bodies are dismembered to highlight different sexualized parts. Their positioning and interactions with the men suggest women as submissive objects under male control. The use of the color red and sexually provocative poses are meant to appeal to the male audience by portraying the women as flirtatious and desiring male attention, though some critics argue this portrayal promotes a rape culture.
Rihanna Digipack analysis
The digipack depicts a narrative of a relationship from beginning to end through its imagery. On the front cover, the artist has a flirtatious expression, signifying the start of the relationship. The white dress on the inner cover symbolizes marriage in the relationship's middle. The drastic change in representation on the back cover suggests a breakup, with her attire and body language implying she became a showgirl after the end of the relationship. Various technical elements like lighting and typography reinforce this narrative and shift in tone from the front to back covers. Iconography like the red hair and roses add additional symbolic meaning related to themes of love, passion, and the challenges of relationships.
The Male Gaze - Case Studies
This document discusses how music videos by Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry relate to the male gaze. It analyzes shots in Miley's "Wrecking Ball" video that sexualize her through a focus on her red lips and intimate eye contact with the camera. Scenes of Miley riding a wrecking ball and being naked are described as both sexually pleasing the male gaze but also potentially empowering. The analysis of Katy Perry's "California Gurls" discusses how shots of her licking ice cream highlight both her innocence and sexuality, and how scenes of her nakedness appeal to an erotic male gaze while also being liberating acts.

In The Only Exception, women are portrayed as fragile, delicate, emotionally unstable, and reliant on men through the use of soft colors, childlike clothing and behavior, and changing emotions. In contrast, Salute depicts women as authoritative, dominant, powerful, and in control through provocative outfits, aggressive behavior, and dominance over men. Overall, the two videos present very different representations of women.

Sexism in Pop Videos
The document discusses Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory and its application to analyzing depictions of women in pop music videos. It argues that many pop videos exploit the male gaze by objectifying and commodifying women's bodies for the pleasure and perspective of the male viewer. This reinforcement of patriarchal ideals through media has negative societal effects, such as promoting unrealistic beauty standards and internalized surveillance of women by other women. The document analyzes several controversial pop videos through the lens of the male gaze theory to demonstrate both its exploitation of and empowerment of women.
Genre Analysis
The document analyzes the genres of three music videos:
- Olly Murs' "Dear Darlin'" uses a narrative genre, with clips showing his relationship with a woman as he narrates a heartfelt story.
- Will.i.am's "Bang Bang" uses a performance genre, with him performing in a 1920s style to match the time period and saturated visuals. A female artist also appears when needed, representing the inferior role of women in that time.
- Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" focuses on displaying her sexualized image, with close-ups of her body and revealing outfits. Other shots emphasize this image, such as a woman laying on a man

sexism in pop videos
Laura Mulvey's theory argues that in classical Hollywood cinema, women are typically portrayed as objects of the male gaze for erotic pleasure. The male gaze positions men as active and women as passive objects without agency who exist only to advance the male narrative or be visually admired. This reflects the patriarchal structure of society and denies women their humanity by reducing them to things to be looked at. Mulvey's theory suggests that mainstream media, through the perpetuation of the male gaze, promotes hegemonic ideologies that influence societal views of gender roles and relationships.
How does your media product reflect particular social groups?
Women are portrayed as both powerful and aggressive in the media product. They are shown dominating men in dating scenes and being physically and emotionally abusive. Men are portrayed negatively and are shown as lonely, using dating websites out of desperation for companionship.

Comparing representations in music videos
This document analyzes representations in music videos across different genres. It summarizes representations in pop, metal, rock, and indie music videos. In pop videos, women are often sexualized to appeal to the male gaze or campaign for empowerment. Metal videos typically feature disturbing, gory imagery and storylines. Rock videos portray young males as rebellious through images of graffiti, swearing, and lack of boundaries. Indie videos represent adventurous young males on mysterious journeys, often set in past generations with obscure storylines and dull atmospheres.
A grade
The two music videos represent women in contrasting ways through their use of mise-en-scene, camerawork, sound, editing, and lyrics. "The Only Exception" portrays women as vulnerable, dependent on relationships, and obsessed with love. "Raise Your Glass" empowers women by depicting them as strong and encouraging diversity and self-acceptance. While the former reinforces stereotypes, the latter challenges norms and spreads a positive message of empowerment.
B grade
This document compares how women are represented in the music videos "Living for Love" by Madonna and "Everytime" by Britney Spears. In Madonna's video, women are portrayed as strong, independent, and dominant through techniques like low camera angles, lighting, and powerful sound.

Mulvey lesson 8
This document discusses theories of how people look at and construct their identities from others, including Freud and Lacan's ideas of scopophilia and understanding oneself through mirrors. It then summarizes Laura Mulvey's 1975 feminist film theory about how mainstream cinema positions women as passive objects for the male gaze through identifying with the male protagonist and desiring the female love interest. Mulvey argued this limits women's roles to narrow and two-dimensional types like the Madonna and the whore. The document asks how looking is happening in the pictured scene and evaluates if narrow roles for women still exist in media today.
Representation in glue

Music and camera shots are used to build tension and highlight characters' emotions and vulnerabilities. Overall the characters and their behaviors reinforce common stereotypes of teenagers.
Characters and their representation final
This document discusses the representation of two characters, Curly and Jenifer, in a music video. It analyzes how their representations may follow or challenge stereotypes based on their gender, age, race, and class. For Curly, a 19-year-old upper-class Cypriot male artist, his success challenges stereotypes of youth as unachieving, though he follows others like being careless. Jenifer, an 18-year-old upper-class Spanish female, physically follows stereotypes of being young, beautiful and slim but challenges the idea that women must conform by having some curves. The video also challenges emotional stereotypes through their roles. Camerawork and techniques like quick fades can reinforce gender
Task 8
The document summarizes and analyzes three pop songs and their music videos in terms of gender representation and effects on audiences. It discusses how Drake's "Hotline Bling" sexualizes women but depicts them in a dominating role. It analyzes how Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" portrays her experiences with men and how her largely female audience can relate. It also examines how Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj are known for their talent but also for sexualizing their songs and appearance in the video for "Side to Side."
Representation case study
Laura Mulvey developed the male gaze theory, which argues that there are three ways the male gaze operates: how men look at women, how women look at themselves, and how women compare themselves. Within music videos, females are often altered to attract male attention, and most genres assume a heterosexual male audience. For example, in Iyaz's "Replay" video the scantily clad female indicates sexual references and attraction from a stereotypical male perspective. Mulvey also argues this can lower women's self-esteem as they compare themselves to unrealistic ideals. The Greek term "scopophilia" refers to the objectification of females in films, where they have little agency and are viewed as objects for

Samsung is a South Korean conglomerate founded in 1938 that produces consumer electronics including smartphones. Samsung phones are one of the top mobile brands in Korea. Samsung advertises their phones through various media channels including TV, online, posters, radio, and magazines. An effective advertising strategy is to have famous actors and actresses use Samsung phones in popular dramas and programs to influence people's trust in the products. For example, the Samsung Note 3 was prominently featured in a popular Korean drama which boosted its sales and reputation.

The document discusses how the media product of a film trailer, magazine cover, and film poster for a sci-fi film called R3 challenges and develops conventions of real media genres. Specifically:
- The trailer challenges conventions by having a strong female protagonist rather than male, and a sci-fi/adventure hybrid genre targeted at teens rather than standard sci-fi tropes.
- The magazine cover follows conventions like masthead, cover lines, barcode but develops them by having attractive writing targeted at the audience and using techniques like bold text.
- The poster includes standard elements like title and billing but challenges conventions through special effects and focus on the protagonist over standard sci-fi icons. Care was taken to makeСергей Головко "Подбираем оптимальный функционал для вашего интернет-магазина"

Evaluation question 1
This document analyzes the representation of gender in the media product and compares it to conventions in real media texts. It discusses how the media product conveys stereotypes of women as naïve and emotionally needy. This aligns with representations in songs by Little Mix and Taylor Swift. It also examines the portrayal of the rebellious male protagonist, which mirrors characters in songs by The Killers and The 1975. While some artists like Justin Bieber and Adele challenge stereotypes, most media continues to promote male superiority and the sexual objectification of women.
Evaluation question 1
This document analyzes the representation of gender in the media product and compares it to conventions in real media texts. It discusses how the media product conveys stereotypes of women as naïve and emotionally needy. This aligns with representations in songs by Little Mix and Taylor Swift. The male protagonist is presented as a rebel, similar to representations in songs by The Killers and The 1975. Some media texts like ones by Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran also depict the manipulation and corruption of women. The document challenges these common representations, noting Adele's more conservative portrayal of women.
Music video analysis
The music video for "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence aims to show young girls that the celebrity lifestyle portrayed in media is often fake. It depicts the lead singer's character struggling with depression as she plays roles in exaggerated advertisements and photo shoots. Scenes alternate between her glamorous on-camera appearances and dark, lonely reality. The video suggests that fame leads many celebrities to portray unrealistic versions of themselves, which can negatively influence young viewers by promoting false standards of beauty and lifestyle.
Own music video analysis
The document discusses several theories that are represented in Beyoncé's music video for "Run the World". It analyzes the video through the lenses of narrative theory, representation theory, audience theory, and genre function theory. Key points include: the video links to Propp's character types by portraying Beyoncé as a rebellious villain figure; it follows Todorov's narrative structure by establishing equilibrium, disrupting it, and then resolving it; and it plays with stereotypes of masculinity and femininity discussed by Levi-Strauss and Dyer. Theories of the gaze, semiotics, and challenging expectations are also addressed.
Laura mulvey
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze, which argues that in media female characters are often sexualized and their bodies are focused on to appeal to and arouse the male audience. This document provides several examples of how visual elements like red lipstick, tattoos, jewelry, tight clothing, and state of undress are used in media like music videos and films to sexually objectify women and appeal to the heterosexual male gaze for the purpose of pleasure and seduction.
Representation in Music Videos
The document analyzes the representation of subjects, stereotypes, and camera work in several music videos. It discusses how two sisters are represented in one video to show their feeling of isolation from society. It also examines how NWA presents themselves as bold and brave in opposing societal norms. The document discusses potential stereotypes around teenagers feeling alone and finding belonging through partying. It also analyzes the representation of gender in indie music videos.
Representations in music videos
The document discusses various representations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity in music videos. Regarding gender, it notes that females are often sexualized to appeal to the male gaze, while males are typically presented as powerful figures with money and attracting many females. It also discusses how music videos have begun representing more sexualities as societal acceptance has increased, often shown in indie genres. Ethnic representations are also examined, noting stereotypes of black culture that are sometimes perpetuated.
r&b music video analysis, foolish
This analysis summarizes and examines the conventions and themes within the music video for "Foolish" by Fantasia. It discusses how the video portrays stereotypical gender roles and the objectification of women common in R&B videos through shots that emphasize masculinity and reveal or sexualize the female body. However, it also notes how the narrative progresses to challenge traditions by granting the woman character an increasing level of power and status through her clothing, accessories, and positioning in shots. The analysis explores how these techniques can both reinforce and oppose typical stereotypes regarding gender, race, and the portrayal of relationships.
Jason mraz music video analysis A2
The video for Jason Mraz's song "The Woman I Love" is analyzed. It is determined to be in the indie genre based on various conventions seen in the video, such as the symbolic representation of lyrics rather than literal, casual clothing of Mraz, and focus on emotion over performance. The camera work utilizes mid shots, medium close ups, and dolly shots of both Mraz and the woman to show emotion and connect the audience. The video effectively markets the artist by promoting his appealing appearance and allowing the music to reach a wide audience through online sharing. It aims to attract young women aged 14-26 by portraying an aspirational lifestyle and relationship.
How women are objectified in mainstream television
This document discusses how women are objectified in mainstream media like music videos. It analyzes how camera positioning, costumes, and acting present women as sexual objects for the male gaze. Specifically, it examines how close-up shots of women's facial expressions and revealing costumes treat them as bodies rather than people. The document concludes that increasing sexualization of women in media has unfortunately made their objectification more acceptable in society.
Shes so lovely
The document discusses several theories that are represented in the music video for "She's So Lovely" by Scouting For Girls. It analyzes how the use of instruments, close-ups, and shots of the woman emphasize key concepts like the male gaze and how genres establish expectations for audiences. The unrealistic portrayal of the woman being "won" in a bowling match between men demonstrates hyper-reality and how she is objectified. Different readings of the video could view it as reinforcing or challenging social norms.
How women are represented in media
The document discusses how women are objectified in music videos through the male gaze theory. It analyzes how camera positioning focuses on women's bodies and facial expressions in a sexualized way. Costumes are also designed to highlight women's physical features through tight or revealing clothing. Finally, women are often portrayed through their acting and presentation as sexual objects valued only for their physical appearance rather than as fully realized people.
Laura mulvey theory
Laura Mulvey's theory suggests that music videos present the male gaze and objectify women. Specifically, it argues that women are portrayed as either virginal or promiscuous, and that music videos emphasize women's bodies through close-ups and tight clothing. The document discusses how Mulvey's theory is evident in the music videos for "Twerk" by J Spades, "Single Ladies" by Beyonce, and "Wiggle Wiggle" by Jason Derulo. It concludes by explaining how the creator will apply Mulvey's theory by including a female protagonist as a dancer to attract male viewers, while avoiding portraying her in a promiscuous way and instead focusing on the narrative.
How women are objectified in mainstream television
This document discusses how women are objectified in mainstream media like music videos. It describes how camera work focuses on women's bodies and facial expressions in a sexualizing way. Costumes are also discussed, with less clothing increasing how sexualized women appear from a male perspective. Examples are given of revealing outfits and positions that present women as sexual objects rather than full human beings. The conclusion is that through developments in media, the objectification of women has become more accepted in modern society.
Estella Wadham_Research task 1- Genre, industry, audience - Copy.pptx
Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video depicts her past bad romances through manipulation and power, with conceptual elements like kidnapping and bold fashion. Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" encourages being true to yourself and not conforming to trends through non-synchronized dancing. Maroon 5's "Girls Like You" celebrates feminism by featuring 26 diverse women to promote women's empowerment.
Media music video analysis
The music video for "Call The Shots" by Girls Aloud depicts the five members of the girl group dealing with relationship troubles through dance routines and scenes showing broken relationships. It uses a performance style with some narrative elements, objectifying the female bodies but also the single male. While conforming to expectations of objectification, it breaks conventions by incorporating a message of female empowerment and independence.
Analysis arctic monkeys
The music video tells a narrative story of a girl who is seen as "the lowest of the low" until helped by a mysterious man portrayed as a modern devil, making her life worse. It follows her attempts to escape the "scummy man" but being unable to break from his charms and violence. Scenes show her alone and in dirty clothes against a backdrop of run-down buildings to represent her poor upbringing and the urban indie audience. Editing cuts follow the song's pace while showing her expressions and her seeming work as a prostitute, pushing viewers away from this lifestyle. The band is not shown, representing their established status not needing introductions.
Music video research
The video portrays a realistic situation about a gay couple facing discrimination from a straight couple. Stereotypes of straight men being against gay marriage and conservative parents being closed-minded are shown. However, the parents accept their son's sexuality by the end. The video expresses the value that everyone deserves equal rights to love and be themselves. It effectively promotes the song's message of support for gay marriage through its realistic portrayal of the issues, appealing to the target audience of older teenagers who tend to be open-minded like the artist's fans.

Question 4 updated
Shannon Nash used various new media technologies during the research, planning, construction, and evaluation stages of her music video project. During research, she used Spotify, iTunes, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp to find inspiration, create branding, share ideas with her group, and keep plans organized. For construction, she used a Canon camera, lighting equipment, and Final Cut Pro editing software. She created promotional materials like a digipak using Adobe Photoshop. For evaluation, she utilized surveys and social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to engage audiences and gather feedback.
Question 3
The group used Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote their media products and gain audience feedback on aspects of filming like lighting, camera angles, and costumes. Instagram helped the most by allowing short video and photo snippets to document the filming process from start to finish. Questionnaires determined the target age range and genre preferences, and further feedback shaped the storyboard and plans. Gaining audience input in this way benefited the video and will influence future work the group creates.
Question 4
The document discusses how new media technologies were used at different stages of creating a music video project. In the research and planning stage, digital tools like Spotify, iTunes, Pinterest, WhatsApp, and OneNote were used to find inspiration, collaborate with others, and organize ideas. During construction, equipment like the Canon XA25 camera, lighting, and Final Cut Pro editing software were utilized. Photoshop was used to design magazine ads and a digipak template. Evaluation involved using social media and surveys to engage audiences and gather feedback.
Magazine advert
The document analyzes Rihanna's magazine advertisement for her album, highlighting several key aspects:
1) The dark colors show a more edgy side to Rihanna compared to her usual bright, poppy image.
2) The font and minimal text focus attention on Rihanna's image to depict her choosing music over superficial image while appealing to different audiences.
3) Features like the parental advisory label and songs titled "Russian Roulette" signal a darker, more mature tone compared to her previous work aimed at younger audiences.
Question 3
1. The group used multiple social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote their media products and get audience feedback on aspects of filming like lighting, camera angles, and costumes.
2. Instagram helped the most by allowing them to show both videos and photos from beginning to end of filming and receive feedback, while Twitter was least successful.
3. The group also distributed paper questionnaires to learn more about the target audience's preferences for genres, songs, and what they wanted included in the music video, which helped shape the storyboard and filming plans.
Initial song ideas
This document lists potential song ideas for a setlist, including "The Power of Love" by Gabrielle Aplin, "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse, "What Now" by Rihanna, "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King, "Let It Go" by James Bay, "These Boots" by Nancy Sinatra, "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift, and "Going to the Chapel" by The Dixie Cups.
Research into lyrics
This song analyzes past relationships and suggests the singer is in control. She had a boy who she turned into a man and taught things to sexually. Now exes curse her name but still want attention. She finds new lovers in California and the UK to make exes jealous. The exes will come running back to her because she is the best lover they'll ever have, though the relationships never last. The exes haunt her like ghosts from past relationships.
Spike jonze
Spike Jonze is an American director, producer, and screenwriter known for his music video collaborations. He created his first music video in 1992 with the band Wax. In 1994, he directed three music videos for The Beastie Boys' album "III Communications," including "Sabotage," a parody of 1970s crime dramas. This launched their career as mainstream artists. Jonze also directed Bjork's first musical-style video "It's All So Quiet" to make her stand out as a new artist and attract fans at the start of her career. Both videos became iconic and influential.
Thinking of you
Katy Perry's music video for "Thinking of You" challenges pop music conventions by setting the song during the 1940s and incorporating themes of loss from World War II. Though a typical pop love ballad, the video depicts the singer mourning her husband after he is killed in war through scenes of her preparing for his funeral. Stylistic choices like the singer's dark clothing and a low-cut top sexualize 1940s fashion. Through cross-cutting, the video alternates between the singer's present at the funeral and flashbacks of her time with her husband before and during the war. There are also similarities to shots from the film "Dear John," possibly to promote one through the other.
Hall of frame by the script
This document provides an analysis of the music video for the song "Hall of Fame" by The Script featuring Will.i.am. It summarizes that the video tells two parallel stories - of a young ballet dancer pursuing her career and overcoming challenges, and of the band promoting a message of self-acceptance. Dark colors are used unconventionally for a pop video to make the characters seem powerful as they face adversity. Fast editing reflects the active lives and struggles of the two protagonists, while slower shots of the performing artists allow viewers to recognize them.
Twitter and facebook
This document contains links to two social media profiles, one for a Facebook page called "a2musicvideo" and another for a Twitter profile. The Facebook page appears to promote music videos for the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Twitter profile link does not contain any additional identifying information.
Young and beautiful
The document analyzes different elements of editing, lighting, and costumes in Lana Del Rey's music video for "Young and Beautiful". It notes that the editing uses on-beat cuts to emphasize certain lyrics. Slow pacing is used to suggest she will always have support. Lighting uses low key tones to show mourning of lost beauty but colors represent emotions. Her black dress sets a mournful tone and is viewed under different lights to take on additional meanings.
Media proposal a2
This proposal outlines a music video for the song "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King. It will tell the story of a woman feeling trapped by her insecurities and past relationships. There will be three locations: a studio for performance shots, a cemetery to represent her past haunting her, and an airport to show her desire to escape her problems by running away. A variety of camera angles, quick editing, and changes between low key, high key, and natural lighting will be used. Props like beer bottles, candles, photos, and a suitcase will help convey the story and message of the song.
Genres
The document discusses different music genres and provides examples of music videos that represent each genre. It covers indie music, which is characterized by low-key, live performance videos. Pop music is described as commonly featuring narratives or stories in its videos. Brit pop is explained as a genre popular in the UK in the 1990s that combined elements of indie music with more popular appeal. Examples of music videos are provided for each genre discussed.
Shooting schedule
The shooting schedule outlines filming locations and dates for a music video from September to November 2015. Key locations included Luton Airport in November to film shots of an airport, Elmers End Graveyard in November to film by a willow tree and older graves, and a booked studio in November to film the opening and establish the main character. The final filming day was scheduled for November 18th to film the character walking in the graveyard and lying down for a birds-eye view shot panning into her eyes.
Audience Profile
- The target audience for the music video is 16-25 year olds of any religion, class, or education level who enjoy pop artists like Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, and Rihanna.
- Research was conducted through questionnaires and interviews at a sixth form college, public spaces, and universities to understand the audience's interests, aspirations, music preferences, and expectations for a music video.
- Examples of a male and female profile are given that provide details on their demographics, fashion styles, music tastes, social lives, and values to help inform the music video's content and messaging.
Question 7 media
The preliminary task helped the author plan their thriller opening by learning techniques like match on action shots, shot reverse shots, and the 180 degree rule. A match on action shot allows the audience to infer a character's continued movement between clips. A shot reverse shot shows a conversation from two perspectives to appear realistic as long as the eye lines match up. The 180 degree rule ensures shots stay on the same side of an imaginary line to avoid confusing the audience about who is speaking. These techniques were used in the author's preliminary task and will help structure their actual thriller opening sequence.
Evaluation question 1
This document provides an analysis of how the author's thriller opening uses, challenges, and develops conventions of real media products. The author drew inspiration from films, TV shows, music, and social media to create their opening. Professional music and footage from shows like Broadchurch and The Missing were analyzed and certain elements like costumes, shots of children, and symbols of missing persons were incorporated into the opening. The opening challenges conventions by focusing on the disappearance of a young girl rather than following a typical thriller storyline. Feedback from sharing the opening on social media was also used to further develop and refine the project.

Women in music videos
- 2. For many years women have been portrayed/displayed in certain ways to fit what the “mass media” believes they are like. Through various magazine adverts for make up and music videos, women have always been shown to be sexual objects or sexualised to sell a certain product. In the 1950’s women traditionally wore red likes and gold jewellery this showed them to be wealthy and not afraid to stand out, could this be a cover up of how they actually may have felt? Did they feel as if they were just objects and not really taken seriously, this is all possible because they haven’t had the right to express themselves. As time has gone on women are still victims of the Male Gaze a theory derived from Laura Mulvey, a feminist who believes that women are only placed into media products as objects for males. In music videos particular genres reflect how women will be perceived, for example in RnB videos women are sexual objects and are dressed provocatively and in pop music videos women are seen as constantly wanting to fall in love.
- 3. In this music video the female protagonist(Taylor Swift) is seen being obsessed with a boy who likes her but is in love with someone else she sings the line “say you'll remember me” this is showing how she is dependent on a man which lives up to the stereotypical view of women. With her obeying to this patriarchal society, this makes women fall to the bottom of the hierarchy and it leads them to being the weaker person with in society. With particular music directors making these music videos women never have the chance to change the opinions of people. However at the end of the video she sings “wildest dreams” whiles she is leaving that man behind who broke her heart, this highlights how this could all be in her dreams and that she doesn’t need this man to rule her life but it shows how she can be independent, displaying a better portrayal of how women aren’t ruled by men. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdneKLhsWOQ
- 4. This video is the perfect portrayal of how women have changed over the last 100 years and how women finally have the voice to stand up for themselves. In the first line of the song they sing “they’re looking for recruits” this show how women can stand up against being oppressed, it is highlighted in further parts of the song they repeat the line “representing all the women” but with them dressed in revealing clothing it hinders what they are trying to say because they are standing there half undressed and saying how they can stand up against men that see them like that. This shows how the media have got it engrained into peoples minds that in order to have any popularity that you have to be “pretty” and “popular” just to have an opinion on the matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjpa0SMOug0
- 5. In this stripped back video, Jess Glynne is just standing/sitting singing to the camera, now this seems harmless and stands like it is giving off a good image of women, yet she is naked, even though we don’t see anything this is showing that she must be that way just to highlight that, that shows how natural she is but if this was a male music video showing them upset they would purposely just be sitting fully clothed and singing to the camera but for a women they still have to wear nothing because it appeals to a male audience. However the positive message this shows is how even after rejection women don’t need to “doll” themselves up just to please someone compared to other videos where women are always seen to have to wear loads of make-up just to make themselves feel “normal again” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ebfSItB0oM
