My top pick for this paper is a music video by Childish Gambino called, “This Is America.” I want to do this topic because it is very controversial and brings up many issues in today’s society. There are easily many lenses I could use on this music video, for example audience or kairos.
The next option I came up with for this paper is the music video for “Wrecking Ball,” by Miley Cyrus. A lens I could use for this video would be exigence. It would be harder to analyze this video because there arent many lenses that apply, maybe only one or two that are relevant, so I might not be able to write a whole paper about this option.
The final option I came up with was the music video for “Do What You Want,” by Lady Gaga. This would be a good music video to use because it circles heavily around gender, which is a lens. Once again, it might not have enough valid lenses to use which would make it hard to write a whole paper on the video.
