We wanted to mix genre's and conventions in our music video to represent different types of women. The music video, 'My Cat' by gothic band, 'Jack Off jill' was a big influence as it uses a juxtaposition of dark conventions and feminine. Also it uses the barbie doll idea, covering them in dark make up subverting the idea.
As we all liked different types of music, it was ideal for us to do this, rather than sticking to one genre or stereotype. It goes more into a stereotype and into the idea of feminism and over powerment. The song and artist herself are great role models to women, so we wanted to recreate it in the video. Giving it a dark twist, to emthasise the dominance of the characters. To seem almost frightening similar to the 'Jack Off Jill' video.
