I thought it was nicely re-done. You definitely got a point across about eating disorders. I also thought that there were plenty of pictures of pretty women who were healthy.
ReplyDeleteI think you could have built a bit more on the dangers of fake tanning, like increased risk of skin cancer. I thought that Snoop's rap could have been handled a bit better too, as you did nothing to say that women aren't still objects. You're just saying that they don't need to starve themselves in order to be accepted.
“California Girls”
ReplyDeleteJon, Henry, & Stewart--
Your revised-remake definitely made a cute and funny video much more message-oriented. I would have liked to see a bit more of the distorted images of “California Gurls” ala Hollywood’s celebrities. However, I think the images you chose were much more suited for the subversive nature of this project!
The one issue I see here as problematic is after the screen-text where you’ve proclaimed, “there is hope.” Considering the first image is the one from the Dove “Campaign for Real Beauty,” which we discussed in class as a convenient (if not even more insidious due to its claim of “real beauty” and the “messages sent by the beauty industry”) way for Unilever to market another product, when it also owns the Axe brand. That product is one of the biggest proponents of negative images of women in its product marketing campaigns. The overall goal of your video isn’t to propose a solution or hope for the future (if you could have, great, but if not, that’s fine too) because it’s skipping a lot of territory in doing so. The idea that all women from California are “California Gurls” is a bit odd considering, most women, by virtue of the term “woman,” are in fact grown adults, ones who deserve full-adult-personhood and not the label of “girls” at all.
