Social construction in the Sam Smith music video

Body language throughout the music video might be their way of expressing their message. Their body language is representing the story as he sings. According to stageminded.com “In dance our purpose is to express emotions, communicate physically, allowing those feelings to travel through the body.” This demonstrates Dance can be a nonverbal form of communication through our movements.

The video transmits a sense of gender equality because not only women can dance the way they are during the music video. The Sam Smith Music video relates to Butler’s theory of gender performance by changing the perspective that we can only perform based on feminism and masculinity. In fact Sam smith also said in an interview ‘I’m not male or female’.

How it relates to Judith's Butler view of representation.

Some ideas and values conveyed by the Judith Butler video is that gender is a standard behavior. Society needs to inherit the ability to accept one’s gender and sexual preferences, Judith provided her experience when she encountered a stranger who questioned her sexuality and was even surprised when she confirmed it. A quote by Judith Butler “The misapprehension about gender performativity is this: that gender is a choice, or that gender is a role, or that gender is a construction that one puts on, as one puts on clothes in the morning, that there is a ‘one’ who is prior to this gender, a one who goes to the wardrobe of gender and decides with deliberation which gender it will be today.” This also means no one has a specific gender norms tell us what to be and everyone has the right to change who they are.

Masculine and feminine roles are not biologically fixed but socially constructed. -Judith Butler

Microaggressions in films and how it affects my life.

What is you perception of this Pixar video, what was the message, theme? I think the theme was Stereotype or bias. Because we can see how the small birds treat the big bird differently just because he does not fit in, they start to mock him and then karma hits them and the blue bird starts mocking them. The message was we should not treat each other different just because of our appearance. Where do stereotypes come from? I think stereotypes come from the social groups we create ourselves. It can start from our race, origin and sexual orientation, some people start by perceiving something different and that becomes the way they treat them. Stereotype can become hurt someone morally, were so used to this that we can guess someone's ethnics and even beliefs. A example of stereotypes can be the single stories, If we tell a story about someone even if its true it becomes who they are to society we have caused this by treating each other in a negative way and unconsciously beli...

Mise en scène Reading

Mise en scène is considered everything related to a certain film this includes its lighting, costumes, voices, actors and décor. During this quarter of school i spent time doing further research on why Directors use Mise en scène and how they use it, I came to understand that Film Directors make use of this in order to convoy their message to the public and deliver a feeling of curiosity to the public, this can relate to Stuarts Hall Theory because there is something the Directors want us to encode. In other words the publics perspective of the movie may depend on the setting directors have chosen. Example of Mise en scene As shown in the image above this is a clear example of Mise scene use, the props, lighting, costumes and the chosen place may give us a each a different view on what's happening. By observing the chosen vestment I can tell this was trying to resemble a scene from the past and the props also help me...
