Realism and anti realism are two sides of a philosophy debate behind the whole bases of scientific proof.
Today I accidentally gave myself a paper cut, it was the worst one I've ever had. The reason for this was that it went really deep into my skin and also cut my muscles open, me just saying that makes me feel horrible but it actually happened. But when I done it I felt creative

Venice Jay Riptide Music Video
Indie Genre
Short for independent music meaning that when producing the product e.g. music and games etc they create this themselves without being mainstream and with no major record labels but are allowed to collaborate with other record labels who aren't so popular. The indie genre is usually guitar based and alternative rock in music but really can be anything if the industry matches what indie means. Now, many indie genre music doesn't follow the industry rules, like they create a music with a major record label but they do keep the indie genre within their music so it still classes as indie.Vance Joy - Riptide Music Video
Riptide is an example of an indie genre song as it was made without major record labels. The song is described as being a "coming of age love story" but is also known for its metaphors and pop culture references. Throughout the music video, the images that come up exactly match the lyrics in a very obvious way but in some cases it's slightly different or has multiple meanings. For example of an obvious one is a short clip of a girl being dragged into the shadows with the lyrics saying "Taken away to the dark side" at the same time but in other times its different, a clip of a girl being tied up to a tree and escaping with the lyrics being "Oh and they come unstuck" but the image of a girl being tied up to a tree in the middle of nowhere connoting that women are weak but then being controversial when she manages to escape showing women to be strong. In the video, women are presented in different ways, most of the time women are shown to be scared or terrified as they've been abused or attacked or that they are presented to be objectified and sexualised as they aren't looking at the camera not knowing that they are being viewed at from behind.Wednesday, October 2, 2019
Dizzee Rascal
Dizzee Rascal
Dylan Kwabena Mills was born 18th of September 1984 in Bow, London. Unfortunately his father died when Dylan was at a young age. Dylan says that he was violent and disruptive when he was young and had many issues as he always got kicked out of schools and his mum would have to find him another school with a system that would fit him in. He started making music on the computer with encouraged by a Music teacher and Dylan attended music workshops during the summer holidays. Dylan was a childhood friend with Danny Shittu who was like a big brother and Dylan made his first mixtape and tracks at Danny's house. He read Kerrang! and enjoyed listening to Nirvana. At 14 he started his career at drum and bass DJ, also rapping over tracks as customary in sound system culture. Now he is a British rapper and record producer. He is a pioneer of Grime music but also incorporates elements of UK garage, baseline, British Hip-Hop and R&B.
Dizzee Rascal music video Dream has a lot of messages hidden within that may have been accidental or on purpose. The obvious one is the title and the lyrics of the song telling us of Dizzee's dream of becoming an artist and being successful but what is shown in the video does alter the original meaning of the video creating new messages. For example, Dizzee uses a 1950's children television programme 'Muffin the Mule' for the set in Dizzee's video of an elderly woman next to a grand piano in a house, also Dizzee uses the puppet idea from the programme. The use of the children television programme is a binary opposite to what a grime artist would use in their video but Dizzee wanted to do something different to maybe show how his childhood started. However there are still some similarities in the music video to a normal stereotypical grime genre video like violence and the type of of clothes people wear. Dizzee is wearing a hoodie which is close to what most of the other puppets are wearing but this is another binary opposite to what the woman is wearing, which is a blue dress with a 50's like haircut and speech, this could suggest how the woman is representing white British middle class people and Dizzee and his puppet friends represent black British working class, this link to hierarchy with the sizes as well showing how she has power to let Dizzee out and to put him back in, black working class are controlled by the white British middle class, another hint to this is how the puppets are on strings being controlled and most of the puppets are black and shown to be friends of Dizzee in puppet form to show Dizzee's life. Dizzee does make a few changes to using the idea from the children television programme like using the set of an urban building with graffiti all over it to show that it's in Britain as Britain in a stereotypical view is like that. With gangsta puppets and police fighting to bring in the grime stereotype idea but in a puppet way. There is also a scene where Dizzee is in a studio with a microphone and with a close up which is common in a grime video, this could link to what Dizzee started on in the music industry. Dizzee has a lot of representations but also uses a lot of intertextuality, an example would be how one of the puppets looks like Golliwog with the rest of the puppets, Golliwog is a message of Blackface which is that white actors painted there face black but with a hideous look during the 19th century, Dizzee uses this to send a message to the viewer that Dizzee believes that white British middle class people view black British working class people like Blackface but uses Golliwog instead to support the children television programme, Dizzee just puts the message out there showing some annoyance on how people could think that and he wants to change the stereotype of Black British people.
