Judith Butler: Gender Performance

Gender is an a performance. It is what you do at particular times, rather thanks about who you are.
Example from my music video:

  • The faded transitions between scenes signify a female appearance as it appears more natural and softer than if i have used more straight cut transitions. Also the use of different video effects such as 'dream' where i used this when my artist is dancing with the broom this suggest a more feminine performance as it can signify a more child-life girly fantasy of wanting a traditional boyfriend/relationship. The miss en scene also represents a female performance, as i have mostly used natural lighting and locations outside with open spaces to signify isolation. I also used props such as the hand made bee for the iconic scene which can suggest a more feminine 'homemaker' approach. Also throughout my music video the artist is dress in bright pinks, yellows and pastel colours which can relate to a female performance. The lyric 'lonely' supports a feminine performance, as females are known to be more sympathetic and emotional than men her, where they could easily relate to the artist and lyrics of the song. The close up of the lips changing colours also can signify a female performance  as i have used bright and bold colours.
