Brainstorming for Remix Video

          I'm actually having a lot of trouble with the remix video. I have some general ideas, but I've been trying to narrow down to a specific topic and I also can't decide what actual videos/songs to use. I started thinking about what issues I feel strongly about, and one that keeps sticking in my mind is the idea of natural beauty. Today's society puts too much pressure on people (especially girls) to look a certain way, and this causes a lot of personal issues with people who may not look like models on TV. 
          Using that theme, there's a few directions I was thinking of going. The first one has to do with America's Next Top Model, which is one of my favorite shows. Although I love this show and I love Tyra Banks, I've always noticed some flaws with the way the show works. Every cycle they do "makeovers", where Tyra and hair stylists design new looks for the contestants, and then change their appearance to make them look more like top models. I'm not necessarily criticizing Tyra for doing this, I'm criticizing the whole fashion industry. Tyra only wants her girls to be successful models, so she is justified in changing their looks. But the fact that the girls need to change the way they look to be noticed in the fashion industry is horrible. I would take clips from the makeover episode of different seasons of ANTM and show how all the girls are used as canvases to create appearences that will make money, regardless of the girl's personality, desires, or natural beauty.
          Another direction I could go with the theme of natural beauty is to focus on commercials. Beauty advertisements are constantly shoving makeup and beauty products down our throats, and for what? To make us more beautiful? To help us? To simply enhance what we have naturally? No, they only want us to buy their products to make money. Covergirl would be delighted if an insecure thirteen year old girl caked makeup on her face everyday in hopes of looking like Taylor Swift is it meant that they just sold ten products. Commercials and superstars on TV have made girls feel like they need all these products to look as beautiful as their idols, which is absurd. I would take different clips from beauty commercials and mix them with clips of the same models in the commercials but without makeup, to show that beauty ads can be misleading.
