Media Homework - Music Research Task

Music Research Task

Rosana by Wax

I think that Rosana presents women in a bad way because throughout the whole video the scenes start off looking like 'Rosana' and wax are having sex but in fact they aren't. This could also be the video saying that "just because you assume something, it isn't necessarily true" but because of the artist being somewhat of a 'hipster' I guess not. The entire video is basically centred on the attractive actress or 'Rosana' (seen as an object of desire) and saying that she is "untouchable" and bragging that she is very sexy and they have sex all the time. The camera is constantly focused on 'Rosana' and reinforcing my point that 'Rosana is seen as a object of desire.

Roar by Katy Perry

I think that Roar shows Katy as in an animalistic way and tires to appeal to a male audience in this way. However, maybe the fact that she shouts or roars most of the song and she says she has the eye of a tiger (animalistic i know but also manly and aggressive) might contradict this.

What you have here is good and you have responded well to the question. But there is a distinct lack of detail from the videos to explain your points. 

T: What you must do now is develop your points and fully explain them using multiple specific examples. Pick out all of the technical aspects (Mise-en-scene, editing, lyrics etc)

The Representation of Women in Music Videos

The Representation of Women in Music Videos

In many rap videos women have no identity except as sexual playthings and "eye candy"

These images do provide pleasures to some viewers. But the concern is that men may internalize the notion that women are nothing more than sexual objects waiting to be used.

These sorts of images are not unique to hip hop. Objectified female bodies are everywhere. They appear throughout our culture in films, advertisements, television programs etc. However, within music videos, this is virtually the ONLY vision of women available.

When women are shown in music videos, they are shown extremely sexually. This is a disgusting development of the 21st century. Ever since the 1998 hit Hit me baby one more time  music videos have changed from legs being the only thing shown to the point of near pornography.

These videos also cause other women to follow this career choice. It is  pushing women in general towards clothing that is getting progressively smaller and smaller. This turns into an ever-growing black hole when the smaller clothing makes men want more women in smaller outfits, and then that will contribute again to the degrading of women.

However some modeling women think that the fact men are so needy or obsessive about them gives them power. This in some cases is the truth but in others it is the complete opposite. A lot of women are convinced that modelling is a very successful path but in fact it can land you in debt, sexually assaulted and with bum and breast implants.

Laura Mulvey Essay Planning

Laura Mulvey Essay Planning

In Christina Aguilera's video of "Dirrty" the use of the camera invites sexual gaze by...

Focusing on her breasts, bum and lips. It sometimes zooms in to her body and forces you to watch her dance and shake. This will promote the video to men and make women change their ideas of what type of clothing and attitude needed.

The audience views this video in a voyeuristic way because...

Everyone in the video is half dressed and the women are always in the centre of the camera, dancing sexually. There are several scenes in the video such as the one in the showers where it is just outright sexual and this is probably one of the reasons for the change of content in recent music videos.

The actors interact in a way that results in the female being seen as an object of sexual desire. This occurs when...

The second scene (out of the wrestling ring) is where Christina and two other video girls are dancing on separate podiums above the crowd and this makes her the centre of attention. Also in the shower scene the video girls are all crowed around Christina and always lower down than her.

In Jesse J's video of "Do it Like a Dude" the use of the camera invites sexual gaze by...

Closing in on her lips in the first scene, but in this video it tries to deviate from being sexual and successfully does this by putting spikes on her lips and quick aggressive movements. But in the end this video still has Jesse J in her bra and therefore could still prove Laura Mulvey right.

The audience does not view this video in a voyeuristic way because...

The camera takes quick shots and the movements are quick and aggressive. The separate scenes of the people in church-like building are mostly not sexual, they include people licking bottles and hacking meat, these being savage, masculine movements put you of of the video.

The actors interact in a way that results in the female not being seen as an object of sexual desire. This is because...

Jesse J makes the video in a way that makes her movements ugly and aggressive. The video is set in a dark, oppressive church-like building and the clothing and objects in the video are all dark coloured, further enhancing the oppressive atmosphere. At no point during the music video is Jesse J looked at in desire, in fact, there are very few scenes where Jesse is looked at at all. Although all this amounts against the stereotype, the video still follows Mulvey's theory because Jesse J can be seen wearing her bra and the camera takes sexual shots throughout the video.
