The
woman in Olly Murs’ Music Video is portrayed as
a ‘Troublemaker’, especially in a pivotal moment in the video 0.28. The
‘troublemaker’ gets slapped by a customer, which is seen to be an everyday life
situation. As a reaction to this the woman pours water on him. It is not the
assault that the people react to in the video, but the retaliation and
narratively she is seen as causing ‘trouble’ for the sake of it. Her actions against the customer result in
her employer dismissing her from her job which the woman is seen as hurt and
anguished at. The only positive side is the main singer, Olly seems shocked at
both the mans behaviour and the woman's.
I have looked at this due to the fact that we will be looking at representing women within our music video as we are a female group and will be starring within the video.
