In this episode of Lunar Sands: Deconstructing Music Videos, Mandy Stephenson and Gavin L. Fry take a deep dive into Demi Lovato's explosive and cinematic music video for "Confident." Directed by Hollywood heavyweight Robert Rodriguez, this action-packed narrative blends themes of empowerment, betrayal, and redemption.
Mandy and Gavin examine the challenges of crafting a cohesive narrative within the constraints of a music video format, especially when handled by a director better known for feature-length films. They explore the complexities of male filmmakers telling women’s stories and analyse how the video’s perspective shapes its message of empowerment.
From high energy fight scenes to moments of introspection, this episode unpacks the ambitious visuals, the interplay between storytelling and spectacle, and what "Confident" tells us about who gets to frame narratives of strength and self-assurance.
Whether you’re a Demi Lovato fan or curious about the art of music video storytelling, this conversation is a must-listen!
