2. Girls aloud – the promise The whole video is a performance on projector, to an audience like the American drive in theatres. They are also members of the audience, watching their own performance. Goodwin’s theory?
3. Relationship between lyrics and visuals ‘Hand on my heart’ – all 5 girls put their hands on their chest. ‘Promise’ crosses fingers. ‘Here I am’ – she draws attention to herself by standing in front of the screen ‘In my arms’ – Cheryl hugs herself Relationship between music and visuals Dance sequence Fast cuts to go with fast beat Influence of the record label and use of close ups So many close-ups are used throughout
4. The Pussycat Dolls – When I grow up Logo at beginning Cars halted in road and dancing on top of the stopped cars, then walking down the road – one long sequence. Same outfits just different backgrounds where they have moved from one place to another. Only one other small scene where they are performing in front of flashing lights which make up the word ‘Pussy Cat Dolls’ Also reference to theatre with ‘When I grow up’ on the outside of a theatre. Andrew Goodwin’s theory?
5. Relationship between lyrics and visuals ‘Ha ha ha ha’ girls laugh it out ‘Famous’ shows ring, which says the word famous on it ‘Drive nice cars’ does action as if she is turning a steering wheel ‘Number one’ holds up finger ‘TV’ makes square outline with fingers Relationship between music and visuals Dance routine matches beat Cuts at the big beats of the song Fast cuts during the fast paced part of the song Influence of the record label and use of close ups Close ups are used throughout – but also lots of mid-shots One of their first songs, so there is only a few shots with other people in them which makes the group the focus
