Miley Cyrus – We cant stop

Miley Cyrus chose a very different and strange type of video for her

single ‘we can’t stop’, some people think the video is just to express

her new lifestyle but I personally think the video is to get the fact

that she isn’t a teenager anymore across to the public.

She starts the video laying under a couch, as if she had a rough night,

 in tacky tight and exposing clothing. If that isn’t enough it gets

 worse, she goes on to start ‘twerking’ and dancing as a giant teddy

bear.

The video is a greyish colour and what really stands out is her red

lipstick, this automatically gives away a more dark and non ‘hannah montana’ vibe; I think she was intending to do this. The colours put

a mood on the video and even though there is not much happening it

 makes you focus more on the outrageous stuff that Miley is doing.

I believe she is trying to move on from her disney channel past and

proving she has grown up now and I see this when she is shot kissing

a doll version of herself in a swimming pool. Even though she has

clearly proved she is not a kid she is still dissapointing her younger

fanbase by insinuating dressing half naked and acting crazy is good.

Ariana Grande – Baby I

The style of this music video Is fun and energetic, expressing how

great it is to feel young and in love. Ariana chose to portray the idea

of feeling young and fun by using shots of her ‘partying’ with friends

in an old warehouse, starting a flash mob on a street and just having

a good time in general. I think she chose this style of video as it

 mirrors the lyrics of being young and in love however it also says

 ‘live you’re life’.

The clothing she and her dancers are wearing in this video are flirty

and bright also implying the idea of being young, however she is also

seen in dungarees which is a sign and almost a flashback to

childhood therefor you get the impression of being young which is

one of the main things I feel Ariana is trying to portray in the video.

The set in this music video includes a street in LA (that seems to have

 been taken over by Ariana and friends), an old warehouse which

they use to party, a wall covered in scaffolding and a wall of graffiti.

All of these places gives the impression of rebellion which is a stereotype that all teenagers go out party have fun break the law

 and rebel against rules. Again for most teenagers this would be

considered ‘fun’ and  that is exactly what Ariana has tried to

 expressthrough this video.

I think this is a good video that is just really colourful girly and bright

 and the video makes me feel like Ariana had a great time shooting it.
