Techno Music Video on Body Image - Collin



I'm a pretty big fan of a group called Daft Punk, and as I was looking up some of their older songs on youtube.com I saw a video that I thought would be good to post on the blog. The link is at the bottom of this post or you can look up "The Prime Time of Your Life" by Daft Punk. But it's the real video that is relevant so don't watch any with custom videos or wallpapers.
The video starts out with a girl watching television and everyone on the television is a skeleton. Then, the camera pans around and shows you pictures of the girl standing next to skeletons. The picture turns into a live scene of the girl at the beach with the skeletons playing. A little further into the video you see that she has gained wait and is still living with skeletons. As the girl walks into the bathroom, she slides open a drawer to find a razor. Just a little warning for the squeamish: It might be a little nauseating but there's no blood. You have to see the rest of the video to make sense of it, but I think Daft Punk did a great job with showing the seriousness of how some people have a really difficult time with the way they view their body image even at childhood to adolescence.
