He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
Five years from now

Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV

Thursday 9 February
LO: to examine the use of media language in music videos
The Roller Skates, The Shop, The Clothing is colourful and they look like fun dancing clothes
The genre is shown by having skate boards and wearing clothes like skaters
They promote Avril Lavigne as the lead singer because she is always at the front and you can always see her singing
Avril Lavigne and her friends are dressed like skaters. This is achieved by using clothes, skateboards and setting. This could suggest to the audience that its punk and punk pop punk.
In Avril Lavigne music video is set in a city. We know this because there is shots showning a city with lots of big buildings and traffic. In my opinion the video is set here because there is a concert and there is a lot of people
The outfits in teenage dirtbag is some are cool outfits and the lonely kids is not nice which mates him look poor and the girl has a nice dress on which makes her look popular.
The music video for Avril Lavigne Sk8er Boi and Wheatus Teenage Dirtbag use setting and costume to achieve similar effect. For example they Avril Lavigne a serten person and Teenage Dirtbag a different person.

it is used because he face would look really small because it is through a camera
it is used because she is getting recorded and you can have a clear view
shot type: extreme long shot
it is used because you can see the sign behind him and you can see that there is no one around him
It is used there because he is on his own and we can see he is a loser

it is used there because she is singing and you can see she is the main singer

dizzy, energetic, crazy, fast,
the camera movement in Sk8er Boi is expressionistic. for example, at one point in the video the were following the camera and they were doing it by hand like a film. The camerawork fis the tone of the song because he is a loser

LO: to explore and practice exam style questions
4 Mark Question:
Compare how gender is representation are constructed in music videos.
In sk8er boi avril lavinge a dominant female character in sk8er boi. For example she is always at the front and there is always a shot of her in the music video. her costume is also more bright than the others because she has a green top and the other just have black tops. The connotations of being dominant suggests not being sterotypical
In teenage dirtbag the main character is not the strong one and called the loser. For example he is getting bullied and sits on a bench by himself. the connotations of being the main character proves they are not always the strong ones.
10 Mark Questions:
Explain how stereotypes are used in music. Refer to two music videos you have studied to support your answer.
music video producers use stereotypes because they are very easy for an audience to recognise and therefore, identify characters. In Skater Boi, they use the teenage rebel stereotype. we see teenagers doing lots of rebellious things like: graffiti walls, abseiling down walls and setting up an illegal street concert. this shows a lack of respect for rules and fits the rebel stereotype often with teenagers. another way stereotypes in skater boi is used is the skater stereotype. This is shown by the skater clothes they wear like the the shin pads and the baggy trousers they wear. they also have skateboards as well. this shows they are all skaters and rebels
In Teenage Dirtbag the girls boyfriend has a jumper on that shows he is a jock. the loser is badly dressed and not looking like the jock. the stereotype is people that look nicer can get better and nice people than the loser. this shows the lack of respect to the poor people
