Practice exam question
Explain one way in which music videos use media language to differ from each other. Refer to one example of contrasting media language in two music videos you have studied to support your answer.
Music videos use opposing media language to contrast and separate themselves. Despite perhaps having a similar sound, demographic, or concept, the video accompanying it should vary from that of other songs.
Avril Lavigne- Sk8er Boi and Wheatus-Teenage Dirtbag, whilst they are both similarly indie pop-rock styles, the varied narratives conveyed in the videos alongside the lyrics separate them as different pieces.
In 'Sk8er Boi', high angle close up shots are repetitively used, to make the subject- Avril Lavigne- look small and inferior, emphasising the underdog storyline. This is used to represent the intended audience, commonly being the underdogs, possibly bullied and misunderstood. Skating and teenage rebellion was at its peak at the time of publication
