http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMKYXIvRYRQ

Within this shot , Mz Bratz is wearing short clothing in order to appeal to the male gaze , the audience of the video may be both male and female therefore having males enjoying what she is wearing may make them continue on watching the video. Females may inspire to be like this and watch her as well. This shows Ms Bratz wearing small clothing and spot lights around her which illustrate that the clothing she is wearing has made her the centre of attention. Also there is a long shot within the video which can result into giving a better view of what she is wearing to the audience , which also shows her to look like a video vixen . Also as this isnt a hollywood production , it could be another reason why the female isnt glamourised alot and shown in a darker and edger way.

This image of Mz Bratz shows her in a more dominating way rather than a video vixen , she is covered up and isn't wearing anything that reveals her flesh. She also looks mysterious in her sun glasses and doesn't want people to see how she really is like. There is a prop at the back , fire works, which makes her look like shes dangerous and violent which is an alternative representation of females as males are usually portrayed in this way.

This shot shows Mz Brats back to back with her producer , she is again covered up and isnt wearing any revealing clothing. This shot protrays how there is equallity within males and females within her music video and how females arent shown as the sex objects. Being back to back also protrays another sense of dominace and can appeal to the audience in a sense of both genders are being appealed to . The lighting of the shot also expresses how the female is shown more stronger and darker , for example Mz Bratz is shown to be wearing black and the side of her shot is quiet black , however the male in the shot is shown to be wearing a brighter colour and his side of the shot is lighter , which results to show that ms bratz is shown to be  more on the dark side . The male is gaining more light which expresses that males still have dominace and females should fade in at the back ground.

This shot shows the clothing of Mz Brats , even though she has worn clothing in many shots that doesnt depict her of being a video vixen and a sex object , she is looking like one here due to the shorts she is wearing which show her legs and sexualise her more.

This is a mid shot of her outfit to show what she is exactly wearing. Also the shot appeals to the male gaze as the men get a better look at what she is wearing.

This shot represents females in an alternative way as the lighting is darker and her make up is darker. Also her hair doesnt look quiet feminie . She looks rougher which shows an alternative representation of her within the music industrie.
