- The 'girl' is first wearing very stereotypically 'tarty' clothing and makeup (which is seen so much in the media). As the narrative progresses, this stereotype is challenged as we see that the 'girl' isn't a girl at all, but a female to male (FTM) transgender. He goes from this tarty sexy looking woman to a male, therefore challenging what the audience first expected in the mise-en-scene in relation to costume.
- From this point, the video also challenges the conventions of gender roles. It shows the true and tender side to what and uneducated audience may have previously found laughable as a 'tranny' or a 'dyke'. This is something that I would like to portray in my video - I want it to have a strong and almost shocking narrative in order to grip and audience and have the potential to inspire or open eyes.
- The music in the video could be seen as unconventional as it is extremely delicate and not something you would expect to hear in the charts. It is unconventional when we compare it to a music video as this is not a music video, it's a short film, therefore the music isn't the main aspect, so it wont follow the conventions of music in a music video. This is a feature that I would avoid when making my music video. However, the music does pair well with the video as they share similar features of narrative and the tone of the music sets the tone of the video. This is something that I want to take on board when I make my own product.
Overall I find this short film very useful as a stylistic influence in relation to narrative and content of what I would like to include in my music video.
