Masculine Identities in Music Videos




This still is from Forget You by CeeLo Green. It shows how the male in the video has gone from wanting to get the girl to not really caring as he is now rich and famous and the girl is a cleaner in a diner. This masculine identity shows how he is now a famous ladies man, having started out as a poor little boy.
  

This still is from I Just Had Sex by The Lonely Island. It shows how the male in the video is trying to be 'one of the lads' and is bragging about the fact he has 'just had sex'. The whole video is along this theme, which shows the identity of the men in the video as being typical young adult males and acting as role models for the audience


This still is from Love The Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna. This shot shows how the woman is fighting back against the man who is being unfaithful to her in the relationship. It shows how the male is now the weaker one in the relationship as he has cheated on the woman and it portrays the male as an anti-role model for the audience.


This still is from Mockingbird which is also by Eminem. It shows the male in the video watching the old recordings of him being a father to his kids. Although in the video the man leaves his wife and children, it shows him to still want to be a good father. This goes against audience expectations and shows him to be a good role model for the audience.
