10 People answered with full comments. Best answers:
"I would expect to see unhappy girls having pressure of trying be beautiful and seeing beautiful girls made them trying to be like them. Then come the consequences of trying to be beautiful and in the end I would expect to see girls getting their confidence of being themselves and call themselves beautiful"
"Firstly, I adore this song. Secondly. because this is by her I would definitely expect a very child-like aesthetic to the video, using pastel colours throughout all of the mise-en-scene and incorporating children's objects/toys such as teddy bears and dummy's etc. I can actually see her getting a needle and pretending to inject the bear in a child-like girly manner."
"Soft lit video, lots of pastel colours, clear links to the lyrics and the message behind the song."
"probably be abstract and not have any meaning to the lyrics bright colours multiple effects"
"Pastel Colours, subtle feminist message"
"I would expect perhaps melanie on an operating table, shot from a birds eye view angle- tracking the usual conventions of plastic surgery including the paraphernalia and pen markings. Perhaps also magazines and mannequins in the mise en scene"
"Something exploring medias perception of young people, not being perfect its okay to be different"

Do you have any ideas for a music video about a girl who feels pressure to become physically attractive in order to fit in?

"Maybe seeing the effects on a young girl (toddler) would be powerful, showing how young girls are when they begin to be conditioned. A young girl playing with toys and starting to mimic them, like barbies and things, would be interesting."
"A couple of young girls playing with some makeup, making a mess, tilting camerawork, slightly creepy feeling to it."
"I think that when you get on the wrong side of social media young people certainly do take everything so seriously beauty-wise and I think giving them the message that no one actually cares what you wear or look like will be a brilliant message to give them."
"she doesn't fit in at first but then changes to look like everyone else but then realises she hates it and changes back to being her true self again"
"There's a psychology theory in regards to persuasion, saying how to persuade people effectively you need an element of fear (not too drastic but not too weak) to make people listen to the overall message... Maybe this could be helpful in some way"
"Girl flicking through magazine e.g.glamour mag & all girls stereotypical size and look. Maybe show a queue of people waiting to go into a music gig...all shapes, sizes, genres. All talking to each other with no stigma attached."
"A girl who isn't 'physically attractive' who is in a friendship group full of 'attractive' girls and changes herself to fit in but she doesn't like the type of attention she gets so she realises that she feels more comfortable being who she is rather than a clone of everyone else?"
No = 8.89%
