Breif Analysis of Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke




I really like this video because although the setting is plain and simple, consisting of a white background and floor, it is still an interesting video to watch due to the fun props and dancing by the characters.
The costumes of the female characters are also simple and plain, however, the revealing style and use of jewellery gives them a sex appealing look and they become a male gaze.
The video gives the impression that the women are aiming to impress the men which gives the men an image of successful and attractive, also shown by their smart-casual clothing choice of a suit.
The fact that they are not wearing ties with their suits gives off a laid back impression from the artists and creates an entertaining and lively atmosphere to suit the catchy song. 
I think the flirtatious relationship between the men and women gives the video an exciting aspect and uses the male/female gaze to appeal to both male and female audiences, it also puts the lyrics of the song into perspective.
I like the fact that such a simple video can be so amusing and fit the catchy, upbeat song so well. I think the characters play a good role and fit the intentions of the lyrics well.
