Benny- Little Game music video

In this music video there is use of direct mode of address and performance, which connects the artist to the audience, considering the fact that this song is about gender roles and his experience, it is very personal and builds tension. There is a linier narrative the story in the video depicts what the song is about and the pace of the editing matches that of the song.

The ideologies shown in this music video are on gender roles, the video shows three young boys as typical stereotypes until one of them reaches for a Barbie doll and the other boys go for him. This displays the ideologies that children should be allowed to play with whatever toys they want but they are already predetermined a role when they are born which leads to them getting bullied, this is shown when the other boys turn around and notice he is different.

In the next shot there are three stereotypical girls, blonde ballerina, blonde business woman putting on make up and then the school girl, they all are balancing books on their head in unison until the school girl opens the book and much like the first shot the other girls turn around, this shows that the gender role for girls is to be dumb, blonde and blue eyed, and when one of them defies that role the others turn against her, this shows that there is no double standards when it comes to gender roles both men and women have them.

The editing in the video is distorted slightly at the start but at the end the video becomes completely distorted which looks like anarchy, this could represent the opinion of others thinking that society would completely corrupt if there where no gender roles because it is the audience watching it s o the editing is seen from the audiences point of view (P.O.V).
