The music video for "Jungle" by X Ambassadors aims to represent the diversity of subcultures in Los Angeles through the portrayal of people from different ethnic, age, class and religious backgrounds celebrating together. While males, including the band members, have more prominent roles, the video strives for an overall message of equal respect. Characters are dressed according to stereotypes of their backgrounds but in a way that enhances realistic depictions of celebrations and traditions. Through its rapid cuts, portrayal of happiness among diverse groups, and the band's role as observers, the video presents a positive view of the diversity of LA.Digipack analysis

The document summarizes Andrew Goodwin's theory on characteristics commonly found in music videos. Some key points include:
1) Music videos often demonstrate genre characteristics through their visuals, such as stage performances for metal videos and dance routines for boy bands.
2) There is frequent emphasis on notions of looking and voyeuristic treatment of the female body through props like mirrors and cameras.
3) Lyrics are commonly represented through visuals in illustrative, amplifying or contradictory ways.

Conventions of a music video!mariannapicone
油
Representation in media refers to how people, places, events and concepts are portrayed. Media producers use stereotypes from reality but often exaggerate or reshape them to appeal to audiences and make profits. This document examines common stereotypes of women in music videos, such as the burlesque girl, stripper and gangsta hoe, which portray women as sexual objects. This constant sexual objectification can negatively impact society's views of women and girls' roles and value. While representation has become more sexualized, it does not reflect the modern independent woman and risks normalizing the sex industry. The future of representation in media remains uncertain but will likely continue influencing social norms.Evaluation Question 1

Our music video challenges some conventions of pop ballad music videos. While it follows conventions like a non-linear narrative and establishing shots, it breaks conventions by starting with diegetic sound instead of the music, focusing less on the protagonist by hiding her identity, and depicting Pakistani cultural and social norms of marriage instead of solely focusing on romance. Specifically, it shows the rituals and ways young brides prepare culturally for their wedding day, challenging the typical Western conventions of pop ballads emphasizing physical romance over cultural issues.Planning for Question 1 Evaluation

Goodwin proposes 7 theories about music videos: 1) Links between visuals and lyrics, 2) Links between music and visuals, 3) Genre characteristics, 4) Intertextual references, 5) Notions of looking (voyeurism), 6) Demands of record labels, 7) Performance, narrative or concept-based videos. The document discusses how the music video for "Ghosts" by Higher Self ft. Lauren Mason reinforces the lyrics with visuals and displays genre characteristics of electronic music like a storyline, bright lighting filmed during the day or at night. It also challenges theories of the male gaze by having the female ghost in control rather than being a passive sexual object looked at by the male.Intertextuality
IntertextualityMaria Sheikh
油
Intertextuality refers to references made between different media texts. It occurs when one media text references another existing text. Katy Perry's music video for "Unconditionally" is an example of pastiche, as it references multiple other media texts including Snow White, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and Dangerous Liaisons through costumes, scenes, and symbols. Parody is the opposite of pastiche as it mocks and ridicules the original text. Homage pays tribute to another artist through similar style or moves. Translation changes the message from one medium to another, like Miley Cyrus' change in music style on her song "Malibu." Hybridity is a mixture of cultures, like Selena Gomez'sEvaluation: Final Question 1

The document discusses conventions used in the production of a music video and accompanying digipak.

However, conventions around representations of gender and hedonism were challenged by portraying both genders equally and avoiding hyper-sexualization.
For the digipak, conventions like a 4-panel design and similar color tones across panels were used, but conventions were also challenged by using different colors on one panel and an unconventional track listing layout.

The document discusses the phenomenon of "plastic pop" which emerged in the 1950s. Plastic pop refers to the idea of a pop music industry that produces "one hit wonders" - artists who have a single successful song but lack longevity. This developed through music reality shows that launch artists' careers after winning competitions but do not always lead to sustained success. While some reality show winners like Leona Lewis found continued popularity, many others released only one hit song. The phenomenon of plastic pop is debated as either cheapening pop music or expanding its opportunities.Promotional cover research

- 1. Comparison of MGMT - Time to Pretend & Linkin Park- Numb By Muhammad Zeeshan Zafraan Mahrban Judah Chandra
- 2. MGMT Time to Pretend
- 3. MGMT Time to Pretend The song is consistently illustrating the use of drugs within the lifestyle of a rock star. This is evident as the lyrics shoot some heroin mention the drug. Furthermore a religious aspect to such use of drugs is introduced through the use of movie clips within the MGMT music video as the star personas are receiving the drug in the same way as the Holy Communion. I believe this is significant as drugs are illustrated as a symbol of god and something to be treasured. However the abuse of the drugs is depicted within the lyrics Well choke on our vomit. This illustrates the consequence of not only the use of drugs but also the outcome of the rock star lifestyle.
- 4. The song depicts the life stage transition from a child to an adult as a horrendous change. This is due to the realities of adulthood, the responsibility an adult has to take. However the lyrics suggest that pretending to be a child is most efficient way to stay happy (This can be linked to Playing in the sand a habit of children the title). This point of view is further enforced as the lyrics Ill miss the playgrounds and digging up worms. These are typical habits of childhood as fun is the only thing on the agenda for a child. Moreover the lyrics Ill miss the comfort of my mother depict the relaxed lifestyle we all had as children while also expressing Pretending to ignore the realities of that the things we had taken for granted as childhood. This screen represents a child is only a privilege we receive once childhood through the playful body language yet it also illustrates in our lives. adulthood through the flames in the background. This can be interpreted as adulthood being a heavy burden while childhood is freedom.
- 5. MGMT This music video is a mixture of Narrative based and Concept based. This is to help the views view the reality of the so called Rock Star Lifestyle, which is further enforced by the lyrics Live fast and die young. These lyrics show that life may not be so great, thus the only thing we can do is Pretend (which can also be linked to the title Time to Pretend. The record company sold this product using the different, effects, visual and motifs within the music video. This attracted the society at the time due to the unique and originality of the music video.
- 6. The music video illustrates the stereotypical video of power, wealth and success within society of the modern age. However it exemplifies how real wealth can only be found within simple things such as Family, Food, Water and Friends. Thus, we believe it depicts the illusion of the rock star lifestyle as the chorus repeats We were fated to pretend. which confirms our views. The music video refers to bands such as Nickleback which promote the Rock star lifestyle.
- 7. Linkin Park - Numb
- 8. NUMB A lot of religious connotations are present within the music video, this is apparent as the main character (women) is constantly trying to be like Mary. To walk in your shoes, Lady Mary this view is enforced as the music band are playing within a church The quote also empathises the life that her mother wants her daughter to have. which is reflected within the clips of her mother scolding her, this suggest that she is not on her proper path. This is then further enforced as the The Band with the Church band is playing music within the church. This could signify a point to which the woman must return to as we see within the ending of the music video, the woman running back to the church. Girl running back in the church
- 9. The main theme present within the music video is of oppression and depression as the star persona is unable to do anything. However To be more like me and less like you illustrates her wants of rebellion as she wants to be an individual with own rules and paths rather than be guided by others. while this lyric can also illustrate how she is not what she is supposed to be. Building upon that, Ive become so numb is repeated constantly to portray her division from everything and everyone around her. Its Says Numb On Her Left Arm which Her being scolded by her Mother depicts her loss of feelings and emotions.
- 10. Conclusion In conclusion, the music videos Time to pretend and Numb are both performance and narrative based as they both touch upon different views and problems within society. Time to Pretend illustrates the life of a rock star in a different light rather than the a glamorous lifestyle. While numb is about following your own path and creating your own distinctive individuality rather than staying in the shadow of someone else.
