Music Video Stereotypes

Why media produces stereotypes? 

• To appeal to a wide target audience (e.g. Christina Angular appealing to men ... not her target audience.) 
• so the audience can identify with the artist from the social group/behavior they are displaying. 
• so the audience can link appearance of artists to stereotypical personality traits. this means the audience can easily identify with the audience 
• Artist or there status can be seen as aspirational/role model (not necessarily a positive thing)

6.What is the story of the video?

7.What objects are shown in the video? (cars, jewellery)
