Song Choice and artist (style)

The song I have chosen is Mean - P!NK from her fifth studio album "Funhouse"


I chose this because the song inspired with me ideas for my music video and it did not have an official music video already created so there was not the fear of plagiarizing an original copy.

P!nk's music falls under the genre of pop and pop rock which is a mainstream genre in the music industry and has a huge market in music videos. She is known for being the artist who changed the scope of pop music and breaking the boundaries in the industry. Her music videos are always "out of the box" (as seen below) which gives me inspiration to the push boundaries with mine however on a low budget.


Try is a performance based music video where P!NK performs a contemporary dance alongside broadway dancer Colt Prattes. The video is effective because it shows the passion and hardship within a relationship through the use of performance which reflects Sven Carlsson's theory(1999).


P!NK is not afraid to laugh at society and to highlight problems within our generation which can be seen through the music video of "Stupid Girls" which highlights the obsession of "Being Skinny" and having "The look" however Pink is controversial by laughing at "Fake" people and making out it's not all that it is. The music video is effective because P!NK is an influential artist and therefore young females will listen to her and realise being "Popular" and a "Celebrity " is not all that it's looked up to be. The video uses Tessa Perkins theory of Stereotype which can be seen through the 'Paris Hilton' type characters.
