Representation in Music Videos

When you look at and talk about music vidoes you need to be able to consider the idea of Representation.  You know from your work in TV Dramas that this is one of those BIG media concepts.  The key representional are around Gender, Age, Class, Ethnicity, Region/Place etc (but not ability and disability cos i don't like it!) Here is what you came up with...




FROM MR MORRISON


In groups or as individuals you need to go and look at either a genre or artist and create a digital presentation looking at how representation is dealt with in music vidoes. 
  • Who/What is represented?
  • How are the represented?
  • Analyse mise en scene and camera work
  • Could anyone be offended by this representation? Why?
  • Does it conform to a stereotype?
  • Does it challeneg or subvert stereotypes?
You will present your ideas in the next class but post a comment about who/what and briefly what you found out
