Representation in Music Videos



In this music video there is strong representation of women being sexualised. The second shot of a women shown in this music video is a close up of her chest with lingerie on, this portrays to the audience that she's a sexual object. This shot is also quite short which puts all the attention back on the rapper which could perhaps show that she is being used as nothing more than a sexual object and is of no real importance. The video then shows a series of different women appearing to be on magazine covers this suggests the idea that 'women' should be looked at, one of the magazines is named 'fantasy' which could be referring to the female as a mans fantasy. This therefore continues to support the representation of sexualising women, and making them look submissive to men. This style of video is quite stereotypical for a rap video as they often feature 'sexual' women in some sort of way. This can be used to make the artist seem powerful.
