Music Videos

I've been making some kind of music videos- using footage from cheesey 80's films... I think this on has quite a feminist message- representations of women being either 'hey I'm sexy!" or "Work is really boring"

I think this could be incorporated into the video about the supermarket- something about women having to juggle many expectations of themselves? But I feel like I'd need to back that up with some research- and who's to say men don't suffer breakdowns in supermarkets too? I'm sure I know some who do...

Maybe the supermarket could story could play out- everyone dancing around in the supermarket having a great time (soul train etc)- Kath, being a supermarket goddess willing the products to her grip...apple aisle- video game- all goes wrong she cant cope. farmers come out of the floor..., new age dream land escape....


Or a possible non pretentious option- a  jaunty film about the state of world food economics.... not sure I can really fit that in too easily... Could all get a bit Adam Curtis with the found-footage angle.


However, I do kind of feel like some bizarre kenneth anger- soul train supermarket psychedelic breakdown is a bit pointless and pretentious... but maybe I need to think outside the box of everything having a 'point'.....
