Riptide - Joy Vance

C1A Representation / Media Langauge

TermDefinition
Feminist Theory – Bell Hooks - Struggle Her notion that feminism is a struggle to end sexist/ patriarchal oppression could suggest that the video is part of that struggle or alternatively, part of the oppression.
Feminist Theory - Lisbet Van Zoonen - Objectification Female feet wearing high heels, dainty hands and wrists, manicured nail - painted fingers, etc. are all filmed from the perspective of a male - with men filmed filming women throughout the music video to accentuate this even more
David Gauntlett - Identity Theory - Straight Forward Past Some, however, may argue than many of these female representations are still manufactured in manner that promotes thin and perfect body images putting undue pressures on young girls.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Myth connotations of the colour green in relation to money and envy - this could be said to achieve Barthes’ status of myth through a process of naturalisation embedded in Western society.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Connotations - Genre The Horror / Western / Thriller Genres: especially in the way women are represented as victims and method in which certain shots are framed to suggest impending unease / anxiety.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Connotations - Editing Sergei Eisenstein (Director): in the way a selection of seemingly unrelated images are used to construct new meaning (intellectual montage) combined with the songs lyrics.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Connotations - Influences Wes Anderson (Director): in the way the music video is constructed using symmetry, shot preferences (slow motion, whip pans, etc.), recurring characters and the presence of a strong colour palette to reflect emotional / mood content.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Connotations - Dream like Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dali (Directors / Artists): in the way in which Riptide is a pastiche (or tribute) to the weird and dream - like approach to narrative.
Stuart Hall - Representations - Stereotypes of Women Within many of the female oriented shots the beautiful women are in peril and little more than passive victims of a misogynist perspective (e.g.:- tied to a tree, stabbed with a knife, fearful of dentistry apparatus, seemingly assaulted)
Feminist Theory - Lisbet Van Zoonen - Scopopphilia Some images of women are clearly sexualised and are offered to audiences for their pleasure (scopophilia) the camera lingers or accentuates certain areas of their bodies. men actually doing the gazing through binoculars, cameras, spyglasses, etc.
David Gauntlett - Theories of Identity - Diverse Representations several scenes the women present are more active than many of the previous shots would give them credit for: example the woman who is tied to a tree escapes from her bond, flees (this could also be a metaphor for escaping a suffocating relationship.
Feminist Theory - Lisbet Van Zoonen - Subverting Objectification Women are not just the object of scopophilia. Some are actively gazing themselves as accentuated through their own use of binoculars whilst standing on a house’s balcony.
Semiotics – Roland Barthes - Signs falls within the style of a thematic music video (a music video which contains profound imagery related to the lyrics of the song, a literal narrative) references to films suggest artistic value that transcends it to a higher art form.
