Evaluation Question 1 [Notes]

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Andrew Goodwin
- Amplification of lyrics; giving visual meaning to the word 'high'
- Yasmin breaks 4th wall
- Seductive behaviour portrays sexual behaviour described in the lyrics of the song 
- Similarities with the work of FKA Twigs and The Weeknd who's music is of the same genre as Yasmin's

Laura Mulvey
- Male Gaze: Revealing clothing, seductive body language, singing to a male counterpart 'trust me boy, you'll wanna get high for this'
- Similar to Beyonce's single ladies 
- Vulnerability portrayed through body language making the boy Yasmin is singing about/to immediately superior 

Carol Vernallis
- Colour separation; coloured smoke and black and white background (editing): similar to Chris Brown's 'Don't think they know' video
