Planning of Music Video

Edit Style 

I am planning on using a VHS style edit on the video to reflect the way that media skews our ideals of females. After watching countless movies which see female characters through the male gaze, we have created this new normality which suggests that it is okay to look at women with a scopophillic gaze the same as we do when watching women in movies. In order to get the message across about the way women are treated due to the male gaze in movies I want to start the video off with a male sitting on a sofa flicking through movies on the TV in the dated VHS fashion which contain characters which step over boundaries or push the idea that women should be objectified for example, I may use "Fatal Attraction" in which a female is used for the purpose of pleasure and then ignored as though she isn't human when confronting the male to tell him she is pregnant. Another movie that could be used here is "Psycho" as it presents a male character as stalker like and also uses various techniques in order to make the female a victim of scopophilia for the pleasure of the audience, the characters themselves and the producers. As the character in my production is flicking through the misogynistic media products a close up of his eyes will be used, in the close up when he blinks, as his eyes open the world turns into a VHS movie, the man is suddenly filled with a desire to chase a girl who hasn't suggested she has any interest in the male. The man becomes so infatuated with the woman he starts drinking and creepily watching videos he took of her on his phone or scrolling through her social media. I want to keep hints of modernity in the video to show how the mediation of videos to objectify females is not something that has gone away, although it was when VHS was prominent that the theory of a male gaze arose, there are still many hints of misogyny nowadays.

8mm Montage (FINISH)

What is 8mm Montage and Why is it Use?  The use of montage in film has been used for decades, it creates many creative outcomes which all have a different effect on the audience. The use of 8mm film or a 8mm film look using post production can create a nostalgic home movie aesthetic which connects with the audience and allows them to engage more with the content being shown to them. If creating the home family movie look using post production the use of layers of film damage to give the footage a more vintage, nostalgic look, this is an experimental approach which could produce some creative content. The use of 8mm film footage could be a good way to suggest to an audience the narrative is non-linear and they are telling a narrative happening in the past. The approach gives a very creative narrative which keeps the audience engaged without being too confusing to follow. The use of a montage sequence allows use to reveal a large amount of information in a short amount of time allowi...
