Show Me By Kid Ink: Music Video Analysis

Product placement in music videos is quite a fruitful source of money for artists who approve it. The content of many commercial pop songs, the imagery displayed in music videos and the conspicuous consumption apparent in the lifestyles of pop stars all reinforce the idea that mass consumption will lead to happiness.

This Music Video was made with the theme of the famous British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, after it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The Movie was first initially released in 1997, won 11 Oscars and ranked the fifth position amongst the list of the highest-grossing films in Canada and the United States. Believing that it was all enhanced by that MTV was announced, where technology was taking over which had strong fondness in that course of time and a negative one as time elapsed. It had a positive affection in a way it accomplished to make it easier and now that MTV can use the WIFI after it was invented to stream it's movies and made it faster in other several ways, but as we can see, with time it started affecting all kids before they even grew up or became adults by being overwhelmed with Technology.

In each quick scene of this music video every regretful action that is preformed has been rewound, but not completely restored, to see what could have been if it was to have never happened, representing the only thing that singer Johnette Napolitano wishes she could do to fix the damage she has done in her past.

In 2014, violinist Lindsey Stirling released the album “Shatter Me.” The album was mainly about Stirling’s struggles with eating disorders and change. The album was phenomenal. You could greatly feel the emotion each song is trying to convey. While Stirling includes her story, she also includes the songs that make you really want to dance.

To avoid the one-sidedness of textual analysis approaches, or audience and reception studies, I propose that cultural studies itself be multiperspectival, getting at culture from the perspectives of political economy, text analysis, and audience reception, as outlined above. Textual analysis should utilize a multiplicity of perspectives and critical methods, and audience reception studies should delineate the wide range of subject positions, or perspectives, through which audiences appropriate culture. This requires a multicultural approach that sees the importance of analyzing the dimensions of class, race and ethnicity, and gender and sexual preference within the texts of media culture, while studying as well their impact on how audiences

At the beginning of the song, the idea that there is something wrong emerges, there is a danger, and there are children involved. Using the word children, Stills displays the innocence and carefree attitude of the young. The words also serve as a warning of impending danger. Additionally, the songwriter accommodates logos in the refrain through this quote, “It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound / Everybody look what’s going down” which acts as the simple moral takeaway for the song (Stills). The moral is, we only have one life, check out what is happening all around. Furthermore, the lyrics and musical arrangement express an emotional aspect to the song, such as the unassuming danger faced by the teens. The soulful, bluesy, pop quality

The last aspect in the pretty hurts music video is dialogue. The lyrics in this music video send a very strong message an example of the lyrics is “Perfection is a disease of a nation”. The example of the lyrics tells us how women have been brought up with this perfect body image and think that this is what as women they need to achieve. This leads to women putting pressure on themselves to achieve perfection. It creates some women being obsessed with achieving perfection and makes them put themselves through physical pain to make sure they achieve it, which is not necessary good for their health. Putting themselves through the physical pain leads them to having emotional pain. We see these images of this perfect body through social media and

Alessia Cara’s song “Wild Things” was released in 2015 as a part of her album Know-It-All . “Wild Things” was directed by Aaron A Bertrand; since the music videos release on March 7, 2016 it has been nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. The music video begins showing individual pictures of Alessia Cara and her friends with their names written on the screen below. A monologue is playing in the background in which Alessia Cara describes what the “Wild Things” are to the viewer. Alessia describes them as “Where The Wild Things Are is a place that exists in our minds. It's a place of liberty and shamelessness. It can take a split second or a lifetime to find it, but once you do, you'll be free.” The girls in the video are wearing different colored ripped jeans with

First, the most intelligent thing for a company to do is to advertise their products using today's most popular thing: music. Many advertisements have had songs, or beats, played in their commercials. This is because the company wants you to recall their product, so you purchase it. For example, the Black Eyed Peas wrote the song "Hey Mama", which was used in an

We will show a “cool” kid using a lunch box. Students in high school look up to the “cool kids” and follow what they do. Students also have famous role models and want to be like them. If we include a celebrity using our product it will attract attention from their fans and people will be more willing to buy our product because it will become associated with the celebrity therefore making it “cool”. Our goal is to make lunch boxes “cool” and we believe if we show a “popular” and/or “famous” person using them we will achieve that.

Music Video Analysis: Without The Lights - Elliot Moss The video I have chosen to analyze is Without the Lights by Elliot Moss, choreographed by Phillip Chbeeb. It is a music video which cuts between sequences of dance, and sequences of narrative which are furthered by the choreography. The genre of the music video would fall under “dance”, though the Elliot Moss’ music has been classified as Indietronica (a combination of Indie pop and electronica) and as alternative rock. Without the Lights follows the story of a couple in an abusive relationship and was published in October 2016, during the Domestic Violence Awareness month in the United States.

Increasingly, we are witnessing a new phenomenon of parodies that serve as brands, labels, taglines, logos for a commercial gain. Such as, Black Bear Roastery pokes fun at the coffee giant, Starbucks' dark roast by cheekily selling its own dark roast under the label “Charbucks”. A bar owner names his kitschy establishment the “Velvet Elvis” – rings a bell? Mr. Presley definitely did not find that funny. “The South Butt” merchandise sold by a college student with the tagline “Never Stop Relaxing” has irked VF Corporation owner of the brand “The North Face” that uses the tagline “Never Stop Exploring”. Heard of Gucci Goo diapers and Chewy Vuiton dog toys? Yes, they exist in the real world. A Vermont non-conformist shouting out to people “Eat

Everyone in life has fought or will fight an inner battle. Some know how to cope and work through it, whereas others turn to alcohol, drugs, sex or other destructive behavior. And others, they just run away. Some may be escaping their burdens and others consciously make the decision to leave everything behind in order to find themselves. The music video for “Ride,” which follows a nomadic young woman’s attempt to find herself, ultimately argues that escape may be critical for such self-discovery, and, paradoxically, that freedom and inner peace may be closely aligned with a certain type of insanity.

Media Analyses: I’m the One Music Video Producer DJ Khaled and his hip-hop and rap single I’m the One featuring artist alike Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Quavo, conveys the idea of social-cultural body image, thus relating to eating disorders. Within I’m the One, the video endorses the sexualization of the female body. All extras within the video were only females, and not just any females, but those who have the ideal fit body image placed by society. These females are to be categorized as slim, have small waist, with big breast and glutes. No women once so ever were fat, and or overweight.

In this one- shot music video, OK Go rides the mobility scooters and holding the red umbrella to create the sense of movement and continuous to the viewers. They also successfully applied the four Gestalt laws in the video.
