Short Music Video Analysis

For my creative media project, I put together a short music video. I decided to make a music video because I felt is was significant to a problem in todays society. Today, popular culture, such as today’s hits music, has a negative impact on women and young girls. For example, in a lot of songs with a male artist, the male will degrade women. With that said, one may turn on the radio, or television, and hear a song about how the male artist is so wealthy that he can sleep around with any girl that he would like. In the music video of the same song, one may see a women, wearing little or no clothing, dancing seductively on the artist. This is very alarming to our youth of girls. Because of the lyrics and music videos, young girls will look up
For example, rather than degrading women, this song is elaborating on how society and the media have brainwashed women to believe that their looks and weight are more important than their knowledge. With that said, in the beginning of the video, one will see a little girl watching television. When the little girl turns on the T.V. she sees two beautiful women putting on makeup. Then, as the little girl is still watching television, we see a beautiful, skinny woman, who is obviously ditzy and has money to buy name brand clothing, getting a lot of attention from a man. At this time, the little girl sees and believes that, according to society, women will get a lot of attention from men, and have money if she is, unrealistically, skinny and beautiful. Although, the little girl then takes a stand and says “I don’t wanna be a stupid girl.” This means she does not want to be a women like the girls throughout the media. To me, this is important for women and especially young girls to see because the song, and my music video, is saying that it is okay to be different and one does not have to follow the norms of an i”deal women” like is portrayed all over television and popular
