How does the representation of women differ in music videos depending on the gender of the music artist in western pop music.
the representation of women in music videos varies drastically, depending on the target audience and also the gender of the musician. I will explore how the point of view that the video is shot from (male/female) changes the representation of the women in that video. I will be using Mulveys theory of the male gaze to show how we see the women through the mans eyes and I will be looking at the stereotypes that are used to represent women.
the two texts that I will be using both portray women in very different ways. the first text I will be using is Robin thicke "blurred lines" in which we see women through a mans eyes in which the girls are objectified and sexualised.the second text will be Pink "..............."in which she shows women to be people rather than objects. women appear strong ,independent individuals . this is for her female audience who can aspire and look up to be like her .
