What editing technique is used during this moment? What connotations does it create? What is the significance of the sports selected? How could you link it to Hall’s theory?

The editing technique used is Cross Cutting, this is when an editor cuts between two separate scenes happening in two separate locations at the same time. This serves to illustrate a contrast or a link between them. The connotations in these two stills are showing physical and strong behaviour which are not normally associated with woman. Woman are seen to be gentle and do not normally take  part in physical activities and  these sports are normally associated with male dominance . The sports seen in these two stills are rugby and karate, they are dangerous to some extent and woman are rarely seen partaking in these sports. The sports woman normally partake in are tennis and netball which do not have physical contact with their opponents. The idea that stereotyping, as a form of representation, reduces people to a few simple characteristics or traits.

Above is an over-the-shoulder shot of the artist playing his guitar, this has been taken at a relatively low angle so the audience can feel the busy party atmosphe...

goodwins theory

Vance Joy   - Riptide The song fits into the genres of indie folk and indie pop, which explains why the music video draws its influences from indie sub-culture, evident in the fashions and locations featured in the video. Indie sub-culture is heavily influenced by iconography which revolves around the natural world and vintage culture, and a lot of music videos that fit into the indie genre focus themselves around natural spaces and areas. The indie fashions which are featured in the music video are also reinforced in motive by the overall look of the video, which has a somewhat vintage feel. This is due to the effects used on the video which make it appear also aged due to warmer colour balance used on the clips. Video also relates to the idea of the male gaze, which was proposed by Laura Mulvey. The male gaze is a concept of second-wave feminism in which the camera (and subsequently, the viewer) are put into the perspective of a heterosexual man, thus allowing fo...
