2. Who/What is represented The representation is of Beverly Hills as a lavish place in which the American dream can be achieved. A classic example being Hugh Heffner, ‘the play boy’ surrounded by young girls. The stereo typical ‘geeks’ are achieving the American dream even without the status. The playboy mansion is used to certify male dominance in this certain society.
3. How are they represented? Beverly Hills is seen to be always sunny with young people dominating the atmosphere. People situated in Beverly Hills are seen to be youthful and good looking, both of which come as normality in this place. Wealth is clearly portrayed with the cast of the video being of higher class and known for there wealth (Hugh Heffner)
4. Mise en Scene and camera There is a main focus on parts of the female body which are highly exposed. Eyeline match and props are used to distinguish the band members from the rest. High angles are used to show the settings (playboy mansion)
5. Could anyone be offended? And why? The use of the female body is objectified as they are used as props to gain status and to be looked at.
6. Does it conform to a stereotype It portrays the ‘American dream’ of being young, rich and good looking.
