For this final project we had to use found art to create a
video. For my idea I was thinking that I would show how women were viewed on
reality television and kind of make it into a humorous rendition. Nowadays the
type of television show that seems to be taking over the industry is reality
television. Reality television is just a false interpretation of real life
using unknown actors instead of known celebrities. The way women are represented on these shows
only add to the typical stereotypes of women. The stereotype that I decided to
focus on is the fact that a lot of men believe that all females are overly
dramatic and emotionally unstable. These reality shows depict this by showing
the girls constantly arguing, crying, fighting and or getting highly
intoxicated.
The
process I did was just going on Youtube and looking up reality shows that I
know show women to be crazy. Such as Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, The Bad
Girls Club, Teen Mom, I love New York, etc. I took little clips of each video
and put them all together and then adding an additive transition fade so that
all of the videos kind of blend together to show the similarity in what is
playing out on screen. For the background music I decided that I would choose a
fun song about girls so I picked Cyndi Lauper’s song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
