How Does The Media Affect Teenage Women?
The media manipulates us to act a certain way and to believe what is presented in front of us. I will discuss the representation for these three music videos and how this affects teenage girls; Demi Lovato “Stone cold” representation is vulnerable, Miley Cyrus “We can’t stop” representation is sexualised and Demi Lovato “confident” representation is rebellious.
Demi Lovato-“stone cold”
In the Demi Lovato’s music video for her song “Stone Cold” the representation that is portrayed is vulnerable. This is created by the use of dialogue and performance, and shot size/angle in the video. The first feature is dialogue and performance, and we see this in her facial expressions that are clearly seen in the video and the pictures above. As well as the use of her hands which communicates to the audience that Demi is in deep misery. Demi is trying to express to the audience her misery and it’s as if she is trying to escape that, but in fact it makes it worse and as an audience we can see that this is making her more weak and overall makes her vulnerable.
Here is a short clip of the chorus that Demi sings
Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you …show more content…
It could affect their self esteem positively as when watching this video they could feel that they are not alone with what they are going through in their tough times. But on the other hand it could also affect teenage girls negatively, as it could make them remember past experiences/ relationships that they don’t want to remember. It also may make them not feel confident with themselves. In the self esteem book by Dr Joe Rubino he stated that 85% of the world's population are affected by low self esteem. So this video could be affecting their self esteem in different ways. For some people it will help their self esteem lots, and for others it could bring their self esteem down and just bring up bad memories that they don’t want to
