three muisc video analysis and comparison
1 The first video we have is for the song picture me by Dave. The music video illustrates Dave's perspectives on which paths his life could have gone on, the video has some aspects of the usual UK rap video with the rapper reciting lyrics into the camera at some stages however the music video also contains a story-line which contrasts the other two music videos.
the video does not feature any females as it is a popular opinion that if you centre your time on women
The video is filmed in sepia which is unlike the rest of the videos, however red is highlighted throughout the whole video.
3 The third video we have is for the song pasta by Aj Tracey, the video centres around a Aj Tracey and Dave's group staying at a villa supposedly abroad due to the weather and having a pool party with a load of half naked females
the music video heavily sexualises women throughout its duration as they connote the common policy money brings girls

Ben these are three interesting videos I particularly liked Dave - Picture Me. However i think that the example is wrong for the topic under discussion, we were looking at empowerment or exploitation and although we discussed it through the lens of gender you could have used it for young black boys.
ReplyDeleteThere were a number of elements you could have picked out of the other two videos, stereotypes, genre or expectation of audience. The gender roles that women play in the videos and the fact that they are superfluous. Good choice of the last two videos but you do not mention that they are made by the same people and you needed a contrasting video.
