Music videos are short films that combine a melody or symbolism with an aesthetic theme. They can be created in a very limited amount of time. Music videos in the modern era are made primarily to be used as advertising tools, which increase sales of music recordings and their streaming. Media and gender is a study that focuses on how media affects gender and sexual orientation. In recent years, artists have used sexual and gender representations in their videos to send a message. A music video is also a key part of an artist song. It helps to convey the meaning or how the artist feels about the song.
The “God’s a Woman” music video by Ariana is one of the best. Ariana Grande’s “God Is A Woman” is her best music video. The media has praised and criticized Ariana Grande’s “God Is a Woman” music video because it portrays the meaning. Many people consider it to be an extreme form of profanity for a Christian God to use female terms instead of masculine. In the “God’s a Woman” music clip, women are portrayed in their most empowered way. The “God’s a Woman” music videos is full of religious and feminist images. Each scene has a strong message.
Ariana was in the center, as she is the woman who is the center, much like God, the sun, or the universe. The woman is at the center because there would be no next generation for most living things without her. Did you know that we refer to the earth as Mother Earth? Ariana is floating in what looks like a female reproduction organ. This scene meant she was in the womb of our mother, which is where we are all from. After this scene, Ariana Grande is shown to be unbothered by a man who uses foul or explicit language towards her, such as b*tch and slut. The scene is meant to show that women in society face such criticism daily, yet we have to remain strong.
Aside from that, Ariana Grande is seen in a scene dressed like a female Thor. She uses a heavy hammer as a sledge and recites a quote taken from “Pulp Fiction”. She recites “Pulp” quotes in a voiceover that is very familiar. Madonna, the pop icon, has been her for many years. The Bible verse Ezekiel, 25:17 is also the source of the quotes that she recites. The quote was changed to “sisters”, and she used the word “brothers”, in order to send a empowering message for all females. Ariana’s image in the scene that follows the recitation of the quote is unique. She stands with her legs wide opened, inside the two legs. This scene shows a God sitting inside the crotch, which is where all of creation began.
