Representation of our music video

The Representation of youth and gender in our music video






Gender


Laura Mulvey believes that many films are based around the 'patriarchal' theme, however this is not the case in our music video. Jazz is represented more as the main character in our film instead of the male as she is the lead singer and the attention is focused more on her. However, one can argue that Jazz is being shown as an object as Laura Mulvey would see it, as she is on the bed wearing a shirt and underwear. Furthermore, during the pool scenes, Jazz is seen wearing a bikini which can also be understood as her being an object. The camera angles used throughout the music video are ones in which the audience would feel that they are actually there with the characters.

Youth


Youth is represented in a kind of perfectionist way, that the audience can idealise to. Yet they are so perfect that whoever watches it can not achieve it, thus making it an achievable perfection.
