Pop/ Rock Stereotypes

In pop/rock the stereotypes of women tend to be, beautiful, sexy and confident. They are portrayed wearing on trend clothes that are associated with the style and these clothes can sometimes be revealing. Women are often made to act on 'male gaze'. Men are also portrayed to act on 'female gaze' as they are often shown to be strong, handsome and sexy and wearing clothes that are of the pop/rock style and look good on them.
But it depends on the type of character being used in the narrative such as if there was a lazy boyfriend, he is unlikely to look like a hot model. So we would have to take into account what kinds of characters we want to have and then base their look on the stereotype of that particular type. We will keep the characters to their stereotypes so the audience can recognise who they are.
We will try and incorporate the pop/rock stereotypes into our video to show that this is of the pop/ rock genre.
