What is representation?
In my music video I have featured a trendy stereotypical male pop star Oliver Stone singing a song called 'Wonderful' and in the video I have represented a story of two young adults who are very much in love but they also have a very intense and volatile relationship which sees them arguing very heavily before ultimately realising that they are in love and making up with each other. I have represented the two main characters in a fairly equal way showing them both to be strong willed, passionate but also with a loving and sensitive side to each of them.
The video begins with a representation of a fast moving train and clips of lots of people walking around a station showing the world to be a fast moving and sometimes confusing place to figure out which sets the seen for the introduction of the main characters and their loving but volatile and often confused relationship.
Joe is represented as a strong, handsome and stereotypical young male character. In various scenes he is in seen as being a little volatile, passionate and intense in his arguments with his girlfriend and someone that can lose his temper quite easily. The boxing scenes as well as his running through the forest show typical young male physical strength and these energetic scenes show him relieving himself of his anger through his physical exercise. The video also represents Joe as being romantic, loving and sensitive and there are a number of scenes of him with his girlfriend having fun and being as the song title suggests wonderfully in love and he makes the first move to text his girlfriend to make up with her.
Issie is also represented fairly equal to Joe in the video and less stereotypical of a young adult female in the sense that although she is beautiful she is also very strong willed and in the video is seen to give as good as she gets during her arguments with Joe and to be very much his equal. She deals with her own frustration in a different way to Joe by smoking and kicking the wall during one scene which is less typical of a female character. She is also shown to have a loving and sensitive side to her in many scenes where she is having fun with Joe and enjoying being in love with him and the scene where she is looking at his picture lovingly shows her more feminine soft side.
