Some may watch the 'Wrecking Ball' video and question many things that occur in it, thing such as her lack of clothing, the licking of the hammer, swinging naked on an actual wrecking ball etc. But I think what Miley was trying to portray in her video was something more psychological and very with literal as we see in the video. The wrecking ball is actual tearing her apart which is more or less symbolizing what the person she is singing about has done to her. Apart from her using nudity to raise/draw more attention to her music video (which it certainly did) I think she used it in a way to expose herself, showing how they boy she is signing about has torn her apart, to her lowest possible form.
I think Mileys 'Wrecking Ball' video definitely contained a few elements which add up to create a strong video. Such as her use of very bright lighting throughout the video which made everything much more visible and clearer to viewer of what was taking place and especially her extreme close ups of her face with the white background which really just shows her emotions and how hurt she really is, the video is very 'white' in a sense of color, the background is white, her clothes are white ( when she has some on ) as well as the very bright somewhat white lighting. I think all this white symbolizes how trueself, and how pure,weak and vulnerable she really is due to the boy that has caused her all that pain. Although the white does clash with her mood which is more angry and loud. I get the idea that she is using the color white as a facade in her video to show how she truly feels about the situation at hand.
Lastly, i think this video deserved to win the VMA of the year because a lot of young girls/teenagers and boys in some circumstances can relate to the song and the pain/anger she shows throughout the video.
