How are cameras/camera angles used
- fast paced editing style -> reference to horror films (intertextual reference)
-high camera angles- making women to appear a lot smaller than they actually are - creating the women to be victims in such a large world
-long camera shots - woman at bar her make up melting- making audiences deliberately uncomfortable. Raising awareness against violence in the video?
-camera angles also make us assume characters. Eg/ wide shot of woman on balcony. We assume that it is a man watching her
Bell hooks- feminism theory
The idea that there is an ongoing struggle to end the oppression against women in society.
Is the video rienforcing oppression or spreading awareness against this?
Images of violence
The hand trying to get stabbed and a hand holding a gun -> symbolism of the violence and objectification in which women face
Women represented as strong
The woman cutting free from the tree after being tied up.- running towards freedom
Symbolism of the bar singer
Enigma codes- why is her makeup melting? Is she being assaulted between each scene of her?
-incorrect lyrics: anxiety /emotional mess from the fear
Close up shots to sexualise women
Close up shots of women’s clothing - woman getting undressed at the beach -
