Contrast and Similarities of "We find love/blessed(Daniel Caesar)" and Sicko mode (Travis Scott)"

 Differences

One difference is that in "Sicko mode", it displays the representations of mostly black people in different areas of evident poverty. Whereas, in "we find love/blessed", the level of portrayal in terms of race is equal; there are no injustices' in how long each type of person has on the camera . Furthermore, another difference is that the way the genders are being perceived are completely different too because, the women in "sicko mode" are being displayed as axiomatically quite materialistic and like their only purpose is to flaunt their cleavage, extremely sexual behaviour. Whereas, in "We find love/blessed", the woman being shown is quite caring and loving and ultimately has some personality that is being shown, a much more positive outcome. In addition, the males in both clips are contrasting too because in "Sicko mode", when it came to the mise-en-scene, the males are all filled with incredibly expensive jewellery and flashy cars, and being seen throwing money around, however, in "We find love/blessed", there is none of that, there is all heart and characteristic rather than materialistically valuable items. All feeling than flexing.

Another difference would be the composition of imagery when it came to the editing. In "We find love/blessed", the video itself is presented quite old and vintage-like despite being composed only 2 years ago. This suggests that the quality was inserted purposefully for a specific effect and message of music, since the technology would have been there to make it more modern and up to date. Whereas, in "Sicko mode", being uploaded almost a year to date, the type of imagery being used in much more modern and up to date with the latest trends and therefore, you can see a clear, concise difference in the background production to these clips and the different ideas and mindsets people had thought of for the objective of the music videos.

Similarities

A similarity shown within both of the different clips is that, there are some areas depicted within each clip are quite run down and shown to be quite poor places, whether they are actually or not meant to be, we do not know, but that is how they are being shown. Moreover, another similarity is that when it comes to editing, both have a lot of jump cuts and dissolve transitions. In addition, they both have incorporated most of the different angles of camerawork that could be added. For example: High, Low, Canted, Eye level, Bird's eye and worm's eye views. When it comes to the different shot sizes, they are similar too, having: Both "extreme long shots (XLS) and long shots (LS)" [Whole subject can be seen, subject is faraway] of scenery, characters and objects.
There are both "close up (CU) and big close up (BCU) [Top of head and shoulders, whole head]. (00:00 - 00:25).

Another similarity would be that the movement of the camera had many different perspectives and angles. The different ways it had were similar to each others clip and it included: Tilt, Ped, Dolly, Zoom, Crane, and POV. These are used for different specific effect and so because both clips incorporated these different movement techniques, it could suggest that some of the aims may be similar in terms of what they want the audience to feel.

Genre 
 The genre of "Sicko mode" is Hip-Hop/Rap.
         The genre of "We find love/blessed" is Jazz/Soul.

Explore representations of gender in "Riptide" (2013) [HELP]

Explore representations of gender in " Riptide " ( 2013 ) Women in this music video are being portrayed as easily manipulated and sexually objectified due to the fact that there is a scene that shows the female character being dragged into the darkness, after that scene, it jump-cuts to her make-up being smeared, which shows that the physical abuse is taking a toll on her psychological health. Furthermore, as the music video goes on, the woman is shown to be  hypnotised shortly after in a different scene,  and then it jump-cuts to the makeup on the girls face getting even more messed up, suggesting that every time some sort of advantage is being taken from the woman and it is gradually degrading her inside, and her emotional strength is being damaged. This highlights a valuable and fundamental issue in society, maybe a gesticulation of domestic abuse and the effects this can have on the females, giving a chance to spread awareness on such issues. Women are being port

Kiss Of The Vampire [HELP]

Image
Carried and supported by the male character, typically like a damsel in distress. This was supported with the movies leading up to this time period where women were always seen as the character that needed rescuing. However the male character also has his hand up, suggesting he's protecting himself from something, which shows his vulnerability too. Guy on the bottom right on his knees and head back; quite submissive.  Her head is back which suggests vulnerability and a sense that she is being sexualized; tight dress too. DOES SHOW A SENSE OF OBJECTIFICATION This poster was a made in the 1960's; the time when women were starting to be objectified. A sexual revolution, with the introduction of abortion laws, marriage laws, contraception. They were given more freedom.  The tags of wives were no more, it was now girlfriends and partners. There was also a second wave of feminism that came into play at this time too, where women were made more powerful the before. Looki

Magazine [SAME] Double Page and Front Cover Analysis

Image
It is clear that the magazine is exploring the wonders of the milky way and ultimately, the unknown of astronomy beyond the human vision. And so, therefore, the correlation of the front cover and the double page spread is that they both have indistinguishable features of looking at the milky way. The double page spread is giving instructions on how to observe, and the best way to capture the milky way; via using a tripod and the front cover is actively showing the milky way and giving you hints that this is the content that will be shown throughout the magazine. Therefore, the designers are making clear links to each other. On the front cover, there already is a mass amount of writing in small font; a verbal code and symbolic code (images of the universe), that portray what is going to be discovered within the magazine. Therefore, the fact that inside, the amount of writing and imagery there is are both plentiful is to be expected and understood. So the designer
