In this post I will be doing a review of "Did My Time" by the rock band "Korn", the song "Did My Time" was released on July 22 2003, the song was written as a demo on the "Untouchables" album but wasn't released, later on the song caught the attention of the head of Paramount Pictures, and was then used in the movie "Tomb Raider The Cradle Of Life".

A major part of this music video was intertextuality, with this song being featured in the Tomb Raider movie, Angelina Jolie was featured all the way through the music video, this is evidenced from the first frame we see of Angelina Jolie walking down the alley way.

Also we can see here the application of the objectification of women that is talked about in "Mulvey's Theory", Angelina Jolie is stereotypically shown as a very sexually desirable woman in modern media, always dressed in provocative outfits and made up in make up. 

here we see the male gaze that is mentioned in Goodwin's theory, this is very early on coming in at 0:09 prior to this we see the above image of Angelina Jolie walking away from the camera, this shot not only grabs the attention of the viewer, but it also establishes Angelina Jolie as the main subject of the music video. It is also interesting to note the outfit that Angelina Jolie is wearing, a pure white outfit makes her stand out from the otherwise dark background, this is again to objectify Angelina and establish her as the main point of interest in the video, later on in the video her outfit changes when she steps in to the wall of energy with the band Korn.
