Final Project: Video Deconstruction

My final project is based on the pressure that people face when it comes to beauty standards. My video "Beauty" shows a girl trying her best to apply make up in order to look beautiful. As time progresses, she gets frustrated and begins to throw the make up on her face. This music and image becomes warped to symbolize her state of mind. Ultimately she is frustrated because she cannot conform to the standard.

I chose this topic for my video deconstruction because this issue is very prevalent in today's society. Often people feel pressured to conform the beauty standards and will never feel good enough for society. It is a frustration that I have felt myself. I have come to realize however, that you do not have to try and match the beauty standards set for us, but you can be your own kind of beautiful. What people tell us is pretty or beautiful is subjective and we need to learn not to be bothered by it, like the girl in my video.
