Representation of girls in music videos.

50 Cent- Candy Shop


The instant reference of the word 'Candy shop' which indicates a house full of girls shows exactly what type of music video this is due to be from the get go.
It seems to focus on women as objects more than individuals, in this case as an aid of sex giving rather than anything else.
A lot of the costumes within the video are skimpy, tight, and red, the use of the red and the revealing costumes shows woman in an image of lust, symbolising sex love romance, but more so in this case sex.
The use of the word 'Candy' also shows women as treats, there for pleasure and nothing more, this is the overall image the it being portrayed through out the video.
Therefore the music video as a whole concentrates on making 50 cent the rapper look like a boss, look irresistible, having women fall at his feet, making other men jealous and flaunting all he's got.

Motley Crue- Girls Girls Girls
The Motley Crue represent themselves as womanisers in this video especially, sex obsessed and quite sexist, showing a form of hierarchy, representing them higher and more important than women, almost as though the women are they to dance and pleasure them for money whilst within the music video they can refer to them as 'Bitches' etc, treating them with no respect what so ever.
Again a video promoting themselves and showing women as objects to men and nothing more.
