MY ANALYSIS ON THE VIDEO "CARRY OUT"


The video on “Carry out” is more about sexuality. The setting is flashy, and here, the women are dressed in skimpy clothing. The young women are shown dancing, wearing clothes that are revealing. The musician from the lyrics is praising the activeness of a female, when it comes to sex. Also, the lyrics of the song talks about a woman’s crave for body warmth. She can only achieve this by having sex with a man. Here, in the video, the musicians are shown sitting comfortably in a chair, and a young woman is touching him all round. This shows the seductive behavior of femininity. The man sitting happens to be in charge, she is seducing the man with her hands, and licking his body. The musician said the woman should take his order, which is sex. The woman, here in the situation cannot refuse his request because femininity always want to be satisfied physically and body-wise. The musician is asking the lady if she liked how he made her feel. He is really confident that as a man, he satisfied her.
The video uses sexuality of femininity to attract the viewers. In the lyrics, the musicians uses a domineering tone to request from the ladies what they need. The musician asked the lady for her name and number. He also uses his position as a male to tell her to come closer and take his order.
The way the ladies in the video dance to the music shows the sexuality of femininity. Unlike the male musicians who just stand or sit, moving slowly to the rhythm of the song, the ladies on the other hand, are the ones dancing mostly to the song. Females are more sexually attracted than male gender. According to Devor, body postures, speech patterns, and styles of dress also differentiate both genders from each other. Masculinity dressing is more authoritative; the male musicians were seen on long pants, jackets. On the other hand, the female dancers were seen on short shirts, some were on pants and breast wears, and so on.  They were just exposing their body parts. Masculinity is the gender that holds their hands and arms in positions away from their bodies. Masculinity also stands in positions, sit, or lie with their legs apart. The exhibition of this body postures is to maximize the amount of space, physically occupied by their huge bodies. The way the male musicians communicated their message to the public about the female dancers was done through an air of authority. This is a feature of masculinity, which Devor talked about. Also, their tone was one of aggressiveness, which they exhibited by standing erect, and moving forcefully. This shows that they are masculine through this character.
The speech tone and dress style of the male musicians also claim superior status, which are the characteristics of masculinity. The gender that tends to speak more loudly, use less polite and more assertive forms, and tend to interrupt the conversations of others, is more of the attributes of masculinity. Styles of the dress, which emphasize the muscularity of the upper body, encourages an illusion of physical power, and a look of easy physicality are all the attributes of masculinity.
