Representation of age or gender


  • Celebrates older musicians e.g the photo of Nick Cave and the reference of Elton John who was big in 1970- goes against stereotypes of popular musicians being young
  • The stereotypical representation of older people as facing an uncertain future - 'there are a lot of grievers out there
  • The stereotypical linking of excess of youth but using a photo of the members of Queen when young to illustrate a cover line about excess

Gender
  • Representation for male seriousness and authority in the image of Nick Cave
  • Representation of male artists as excessive in the cover line about queen.
  • The stereotypical link of masculinity and warfare in the cover line about Billy Bragg

Music Videos:


Explain how music videos use media language to promote their artists

Editing- Cuts between shots of band and the interpretation of lyrics/story, both artists and story merge together, wheatus is the band.
Camera work- Close ups, very traditional way, both bands and artists and lyrics of story, during chorus shots on main characters, any label will insist to have artist in music video, not sold in its on right and no revenue, close ups authentic the artist

Mise-en-scene - set in traditional high school, see the hierarchy of people, who are important, roles includes jocks, codes who doesn't and does have power, colours of mis-en-scene deeply saturated colours, American TV drama, bright, strong. Powerful I rock car football jocks own, teenage dirt bag rides a bike and gets bullied, will never get Noel.
