P!nk - Don't Let Me Get Me

In the first shot of this video we see a mid shot of P!nk in a school setting as seen by the costume and surrounding characters; instantly we are able to see that P!nk is a rebellious character due to the writing 'ME' on her shirt relating to her real name of 'Alecia Moore'. Her colorful hair and facial expressions stereotype her to a stroppy teenager and makes a clear contrast between her and the girls in the background. The fact that she is sat down whilst other people are playing basketball behind her shows that she may have been left out and this can relate to the lyrics of the song being about a teenager feeling depressed.

In this shot we see P!nk segueing with herself in the mirror which relates to the fact that she doesn't like herself and also relates to the lyrics 'Everyday I fight a ware against the mirror, I cant take the person staring back at me'. The depressive feel to this song and its lyrics is something more stereotypical of a rock genre rather than a pop genre; however the narrative about a single character showing no band shots is something more stereotypical of a pop genre.

In this shot a smart dressed man is shown to be teaching the elements needed to be a pop star and emphasizing the fact that being a pop star is not simply about being talented but also focused on your image. This relates to how young girls idolize pop stars and feel pressured to follow their footsteps instead of being happy with how they are and the way they look.
