In the pop genre women are represented as only caring about guys and what guys think about them. One example of this is in Little Mix's video 'Love me like you', the girls are all asked to prom by the same guy and they just cry about it when they find out. There is no positive ending for the women and the guy is shown to have the good time. Women are also shown to care about the way they look, for example in 'Bang bang' Ariana Grande is shown applying make up, emphasizing that girls should care about the way they look.
Often in the RnB genre, women are shown to be sexual objects, in videos such as 50 cents 'candy shop' women are shown in little clothing dancing seductively singing sexual lyrics. Women are often objectified in music videos, in Akon's song 'Smack that' women are dancing half naked and he is singing about smacking them, showing women to be passive and worthless.
In our music video our lead is a female, she is shown to be in control as she is singing. Also, she is portrayed as being down to earth and having a personality rather than being the object of oppression or sexually objectified. In our video we will try to represent women as strong and independent.
