Representations

Each still relates to the country and western, this is shown through the mis-en-scene, editing and cinematography. The mis-en-scene reflects the genre as the use of hay bales relates to the countryside and typical country songs. The setting of the field with the tractor in the background is quite relaxing with little spectacle, this could suggest that people would listen to it if they are trying to relax or enjoy that specific music genre. The cinematography also shows the genre as the panning shot in the first scene leads up into the trees, suggesting that it's a relaxing and calming music video. The editing also reflects the genre as the slow motion used shows that the song is quite slow and calm. I was exploring Mulvey's theory throughout the process by being the lead role in the video rather than a male, however the female actions are being dictated by the male.
