Identify four of the characters that are represented throughout.
How are the representations constructed?
What are these connotations being used?
What statement is the video making?
- Little girl
- Rapper girl
- Gym girl
- Driving girl
- Stereotypical girl with ponytails. Watching tv and being influenced by what she sees. Realisation at end of clip and returns to stereotypical girl with her toys after watching tv. Same camera shot throughout in a sitting room. Angel and devil on shoulder situation.
- Girl with rapper dressed in short skirt etc. Stereotypical for rap music video. Urban background with low angle shot.
- Running machine girl in sports outfit. Watching other woman in gym and feeling self-conscious. Comparing herself to woman. Set in gym background. Range of shots and angles. Depth of field used to highlight the expression on pinks face.
- Girl driving whilst on phone. Bags of shopping next to her. Stereotypical rich american teen. No care for others around her. A close up of her face and a mid shot showing some of the car are used. Designer outfit with coffee in hand and phone in other.
I feel that these connotations are being used to portray “stupid girls”. Slight element of comedy as all characters are obviously a mick take. I feel that the video is trying to make a statement about how stupid some people are. Pink wants to be a role model and doesnt want people to think that she is one of the “stupid girls”.
