Media representations in music vidoes

This music video is a narrative music video that tells the story of a black family who have been attacked and the step dad has been attacked. This video both challenges the stereotype of blacks being criminals. We see a black family being robbed and trying to defend themselves. This challenges the stereotype of blacks being criminals because they are an innocent family and aren't involved with crime.We can't see the robbers skin colour so we don't know if they too are black. If they are they would be reinforcing the stereotype.This relates to dyer's theory and shows that black people aren't always the ones who commit crime and they are challenging the stereotype.




















this music video is a performance type music video. This video reinforces male gaze theory as there are women in the video wearing very little clothing. This reinforces the stereotype of women being sex objects. I think this isn't accurate as not all women look like that and have other qualities. The sub culture here is hipster.
