Music Video Essay

Explain how representations in music videos are chosen to promote the artist(s). Refer to one of the music videos you have studied to support your answer. (10)

In the song "Stop Where you are" Corinne Bailey Rae (CBR) uses lots of different examples of representation however some are shown more clearer than others. The song is represented as looking out for the people who are less fortunate than others and the message of the song and music video that CBR is trying to send is that no matter how old you are you can go through some hard times in life but anyone is able to overcome this if they stay strong. In the music video it shows a teenager looking sad with their hood up and CBR represents herself as a very caring and helpful person by sitting with the teen and showing her support. CBR continues to show her support throughout the video by maintaining support throughout the rest of the music video, this promotes CBR as a caring and supportive person as an artist.

Another way in which CBR uses representation to promote herself as an artist is by using different camera angles and shots to show her supportiveness more effectively - 1 way she does this is with one of the camera angles shows someone closer to the camera to make them look big and strong compared to the person who is further away from the camera making them look smaller and weaker however it is shown that the smaller person is looking up at the bigger person so this represents the character helping the person who is feeling down this again represents CBR as a supportive person due to her message of support that she is trying to give to the audience as a whole and any individuals that struggle with the same kind of problems.
