my music questionnaire

my ideas for my music video.

my Britney breakdown

.

Here I have created a table breaking down the music video "Hit me baby one more time" by "Britney Spears”. I picked out scenes that were a point of interest to me and those that communicated well to the audience. I looked at the narrative of the scene as well as the graphics, duration, lighting, transitions, shot type and the music and sound dialogue.

This is my first preliminary task we was asked to recorded a short convocation containing two people to get used to using the hardware equipment. I had to record my example three times the first time lighting was to dim and sop the actors became silhouettes. The second time filming was successful however the iMac that my work was saved to had a technical malfunction and all work l had to be wiped. This is not my best work as the sound quality is low and filming didn't go smoothly as the zoom on the camera was jerky taking away from the quality of the short film as it takes away the authenticity and the hole thing becomes unrealistic. I did though however play around with the camera angles to create symbolism of status within my short clip. For example I used high angled shots to make Beth look Superior to Danielle who I used a low angle shot to make her look small and venerable. To improve I will control the camera more and give it a smoother feel and more stability when panning across the scene also I will make my actors talk clearly and at a higher volume so the camera picks it up more effectively, although a boom microphone would of really enhanced the quality of the sound.

 

This music video also portrays the male as a sex object supporting the female gaze as he is often showing his flesh in a provocative way luring the female in.

This shows aspects of the female  gaze as the camera emphasises on the male dancers bodys and treats them not as individuals but sex objects.

This music video shows a post feminism view point as the females are manipulating the men through dressing and acting provocatively.But not only that the females are being mechanics this is stereotypically a males job and so they are empowering themselves within the video by showing that woman can do it too if not better pushing towards a more feminism view.

This music video by lady gaga supports the post feminism view as she is constantly empowering her self through out the hole video.At the beginning of the video she shows her self of high status as the establishing shot is of a wealthy mansion.At first we see her through the male gaze as she is acting sexual for the males attention until he betrays her.After this we see her through the post feminism view point as she uses mainly men as slaves to assist her recovery.Also she dresses very seductive but we now know that this is not to please the male so she is doing it to empower her self and to gain control.She also engages in sexual activity's with other females suggesting that she doesn't need men to feel empowered.In the end of the film she then lets the man become delusional and think that he is in control until again she doesn't follow the conceptions of how the male gaze suggests she should behave and in result murders her boyfriend by doing this is showing her power and independent mind as a woman.
