Ashes – Celine Dion
Genre Conventions
(what do we expect from a music video of
a track written to accompany a feature
film? – does this meet our expectations?)
we expect it to be funny because its Deadpool.
Relationship between visual and lyrics

Relationship between visual and music
(are there links between the action and
the rhythm of the song?)

Intertextual references
(are there references to other media
texts?)
