Youth and Relationships:
The storyline within our music video centres around the topic of youthful relationships and methods of expressing emotions. We represented youth by using different aspects such as mise en scene and location. The costumes that the characters wore and the props that they used represented them as youthful. For example, both the actors in our video used spray paint, this would be something typically used by youths. However, it is normally known as a way of vandalism, we didn't want to represent our characters in this way, but instead show that they were trying to express themselves. With our storyline focusing around a love story, we were showing that relationships take a large part in the lives of youths. So our video gives the viewers an insight into the lives of teenagers today, as well as relating to the youths of today. Our video is opposition to the views of the theorist Laura Mulvey- as she goes against the stereotypical hollywood technique of objectifying women, however- we are not trying to identify women as objects- but wanting to show the female character within our video as the character of desire, as we express the story of love between two teens.
Audience:
As previously discussed, we selected to represent youth within our music video. Because of this, our video mainly appeals to the target audience of teens and young adults, as our video relates to them, and they feel more involved in the video.
