About Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus’ recent music video ‘We Can’t Stop’

has recently caused people to have a different

opinion on her. This is because of the way she is

dressed and acting within her video, for example

twerking on camera when her audience of

children from a young age.

Also something that has caused different opinions

on her is from her new video ‘Wrecking ball’

where she is swinging naked on a wrecking ball

because people aren’t used to seeing this kind of

thing

How is Miley Cyrus Post-

Modern?

Not only Is Miley’s music videos post modern but

she is post modern herself in the way she puts

herself into society with the clothes she wears

etc.

Also she has a very post modern hairstyle

because girls don’t normally go for that short of a

haircut as it is seen to be boyish.

Within this music video ‘We cant stop’ Miley Cyrus wears a lot of white clothing, this

connotates the innocence and purity of what she used to be when she was seen as

Hannah Montana (the good girl). She wants to make it look less innocent since she

has grown up and shaved her hair off. The red lipstick brings out the sexual/raunchy

side to Miley that she is proving throughout the music video, it also makes the white

outfits look less pure than what they should be. She is wearing little clothes as

possible in each scene as it shows off her figure, it highlights that she is going

against the norm and doesn’t want to be that good girl anymore that children used to

look up to.

The gold chains and jewellery that she is wearing round her neck and on her wrists

are going against her normal look making her stand out in this video from any of her

other videos. This is making her audience question what she is really like and why is

she acting out of character when really this is who she is now but they are just not

used to her.

When you get to the scene where Miley and her fellow cast members are dancing

round with big teddy bears on their back its not seen as normal and you would class

this as post modern.

Throughout the music video, the director Diane Martel, used a vary of shots, when

Miley is singing towards the camera she uses close ups so that you can see the

emotion within her face and the faces she pulls once she has sung, to add in a sexual

feel towards the audience for example when she sticks her tongue out.

However she also includes a lot of long shots to show the setting and clothing that

Miley is wearing because it highlights her style and how she is. It also shows the way

she dancers and how she acts round other people, some people may not see this as

acceptable because she is quiet a raunchy character and people don’t want there

children seeing this sort of behaviour.
