Stressed Out Music Video Analysis

With rumors of releasing another album this year entitled MMM, music and rap icon Puff Daddy have been on the radar again this past few months and establishing his staying power through track releases here and there. Currently, the music mogul is up to make his fans bob their heads once more with his latest music video made public entitled ‘Finna Get Loose’. Puff Daddy never wanted his fans to be disappointed and so he gets an equally famous rap artist to join him in the latest video offering in the persona of Pharell Williams. Both have been good friends since they started out in the music industry and getting the video crafted for the two music giants is actually a musical and visual treat to all of their

In society, there is an unrealistic standard set for women to look a certain way to fit in. Women are criticized for not maintaining a desirable image which results them to search for different solutions to alter their appearance. This is represented in Beyoncé’s music video “Pretty Hurts” where females are physically and emotionally changing themselves to be considered perfect. The reality is that many do put themselves through pain to reach an impractical goal.

The tone of this song expresses an attitude of not caring what life presents to the artist, he'll be fine. He describes a virtual experience making life about getting intoxicated or high, and glamorizes the effects these substances have. The lyrics insist that these substances are necessary for this pursuit of happiness Kid Cudi is on. When someone is under the influence typically they feel at ease and this song is supposed to replicate that feeling.

As social workers, we have to our best to make sure our clients are as living as substantial as ethical and possible as we can. The Aboriginal’s in this video have and are currently fighting a battle to keep their cultural ways alive. They are also trying to be included in discussion making and as a part of their state. The claim if they are not included as in their state they will make their own. If I was a social worker in this area, I will surely have to make sure to stay as bias and professional as possible. I am Native American; therefore, this situation touches me to the bone. I would have to make sure I would not break professional boundaries while helping such clients. In doing so, I will also make sure I use personal knowledge

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.

When artists change, so does their music. Some change their style to appeal to a wider audience while others are affected by what surrounds them. Family, friends and lovers can play a key factor to the artist's change, whether it improves their music or not. Some of these factors help artists create music that sometimes holds a deeper meaning, but sometimes identifying some of these key factors can be trivial.

I watched two different YouTube videos today on active listening. The two videos were both clips from the television show “Everybody loves Raymond”.

The History of Mental Illness was a very interesting and informative video, which helped give me a better understanding on what it is like to have mental illnesses. The video reminded me about what I learned in of my of previous biology class and how sickle cell disease was treated at first in the mid 1900’s. The process was unjust and immoral based on our current standards for creating a scientific experiment which is similar to how mental illnesses were treated back then. It’s sad to think that there is treatment to moderate schizophrenia but there is no cure for the living nightmare where you cannot wake up from. Before watching this video, I was unaware of the living conditions of people suffering with schizophrenia. The symptoms ranging

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

In my video I used the concept of torture. More specifically, my central idea was: Torture is cyclical but it is a cycle that can be stoped. This cycle was demonstrated by the shots of the circle drawn in the dirt and the shots of someone shoving others after being shoved herself. The breaking of the cycle is show when Grainol, the person in the moth mask, decides to care for something rather than hurt it. This is accompanied by the symbolic image of the circle being destroyed, and thus the cycle is destroyed.

For those that have yet to encounter the listening experience of vinyl I encourage you to do so now. These videos do not fully project the real life experience vinyl provides to the listener but it does meet some of the criteria. The first video is Mozart on vinyl. There’s something intriguing and also appealing to hear the popping and cracking from the commencement of the record. This video demonstrates just that. This experience is not common on all vinyl records but it’s definitely one of my favorites. The second video is Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. As a vinyl enthusiast I enjoy seeing the record spin around and around as if the music is coming off the record. Lastly, the third video is Frank Mills - Music box dancer. As it was stated previously vinyl sounds feel more alive this is a perfect depiction. The piano sounds as if someone is playing directly inside the room.

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.

When the video begins, the scene is very futuristic and then the amusement park is shown with the name of the amusement park being “OBLIVIA” a play on the word “oblivious” which represents being oblivious to the world around them. When Katy Perry first appears in the music video, she is the only one shown with pink hair and wearing white and blue eyeshadow, while everyone else is shown to be dressed in clothes from the 1950s and are either blonde or brunette. The people walking around the amusement park are shown wearing old fashioned clothes despite the park looking quite futuristic. At one point of the video, people are shown holding tablets and taking a photo of themselves being unaware of what is happening around them representing how we

Focusing on the topic of sexualized music videos having an impact on teenagers, the media plays an important role in adolescent sexuality, most teenagers spend most of their leisure time on social media therefore, most will look to the internet for easy access to information about sexuality. The sexual behaviors in music videos are be perceived as suggestive by teenagers and unfortunately, this have severely impacted sexual beliefs among adolescents, which is why there are so many sexually active adolescents in today’s society. A music video is a visual representation of a recorded song. Whenever a new song is trending, a lot of people will be waiting for the visual to capture the artiste’s message for the song, which sometimes is completely

Beyonce’s Visual Album presents itself to viewers and music lovers as a statement in self-determination. Sometimes that determination comes in different forms, like the determination to broadcast a subject that should be given more attention but does not in our communities. After many months of anticipation, Beyonce released her self titled album overnight two weeks before the Christmas holiday on December 13th, 2013. After only three days on sale, Beyonce 's album broke the U.S. iTunes Store 's record for the largest sales week for an album. Her influence on pop culture and message through her music is undeniable.
