A good music video that shows good representation is Taylor Swifts 'You Belong With me' because in the video she plays a typical geek/nerd who is in the school's band. At the beginning of the video her and a popular football player from her school exchange notes from each other rooms, her note simply says 'you okay?' this shows that she is a caring person and by doing this it will make people who are watching the video believe she is a caring person and they will want to carry on watching the video to see what happens. Towards the build up of the chorus, the lyrics simply say 'she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts' this is discussing the representations of one of the characters in the video. Also by these lyrics it allows the audience to think that he doesn't like her because she doesnt wear short skirts, so she thinks the football player is only attracted to the character in the video who acts and dresses in a 'sexy' manor. Later on in the video the lyrics go 'she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleacher's', which could mean that she is unpopular in the school and that she also thinks she could never be as popular as the cheerleader. During this scene as well the cheerleader is seen to be 'flirting' with another character in the video, this representing that she is two faced and has no respect for her and her relationship with the football character. In the next couple of scene's the geeky Taylor Swift transforms into a princess because she is going to a party to try and impress the football player. When she arrives everyone is shocked by how pretty she looks, also in this scene the representation of the 'sexy' cheerleader carry's on because she is wearing a dress that exposes most of her body.
To show representation in my video I am going to show the typical feelings that people feel when being in a relationship, which is normally 'love' but that it can also lead to confusion and heartbreak. To do this me and my group are going to tell a story of a couple who are in love, but the guy isn't sure that he wants to be tied down to one girl, so is constantly thinking about other girls.
Voyeurism and Exhibitionism
Voyeurism is something in which desires people to look in to something that they shouldn't look at, but cant resist the temptation, such as looking into some ones deepest darkest secrets or by simply intruding in their personal/private space such as their bedroom. Exhibitionism has a similar meaning but it means that people have the desire to act in a certain way to attract peoples attention. A good an example of exhibitionism in the Taylor Swift video above. is how the cheerleader acts, to get attention from certain people, this meaning she will act in a certain manner and wear certain parts of clothing such as 'short skirts' and by her doing this she is showing exhibitionism. In our video this would be an important factor because we want to be able to show a story, we want our audience to want to know what is going to happen next between the characters in our video.
