2. The music video opens with a
wide shot of the band which
immediately suggests their image
is important, it then continues to
show closer shots of band
members – Goodwin’s theory is
present here as demands of
record label will include the need
of close ups of the band.
3. A close up shot of a hand
tapping on a guitar is shown, this
fits in with Goodwin’s theory as
there is a relationship between
the music and visuals . And then
a continuous use of close ups
follow. I really like the use of a toy
bus because it really relates to an
idea in my music video, whereby
we will be using a toy car in a
stop motion effect, the shot also
contributes to Goodwin’s theory
as there is a relationship between
the lyrics and visuals “We were
sitting on the 59”.
4. Stop motion is used as paper
unrolls into women
characters, this links to our music
video idea of using stop motion
with play dough characters.
And again Goodwin’s theory
involving a relationship between
the music and the visuals is
reinforced by the motion and
sound of clapping. And through
continuous close ups of band
members playing instruments.
5. A visual effect is present which
involves a woman multiplying, this
represents an experimentation
element to the music video which
is conventional of the indie genre
as they are unique and different.
The bands image also follows the
conventions of the indie genre as
they are all dressed in casual,
everyday clothes.
6. I really like the use of stop motion
and a paper cut out effect
throughout the music video and
feel it presents the indie genre to
be creative and experimental; I
feel our music video will relate to
this one as it will also involve stop
motion and unrealistic visuals.
7. Overall the music video contains
many of Goodwin’s theory
including a relationship between
the lyrics and visuals, a
relationship between music and
visuals, many wide shots of the
band and close ups of them as
individuals. I really like the
creativity of this music video and
feel it will influence me when
creating ours.
