Andrew godwin music video conventions
Andrew Goodwin believed there are several important conventions for music videos. These include making the main artist the center of attention through their appearance, positioning, and unique style. Music videos should also include either a narrative story or dance performances to engage audiences. Additionally, Goodwin thought there should be a clear relationship between the lyrics of the song and the visuals depicted in the music video, whether illustrating, amplifying, or contradicting the lyrics.
Music video worksheet
The music video for Celine Dion's song "Ashes" from the Deadpool 2 soundtrack subverts expectations by being slow and sad rather than upbeat to match an action movie theme. It features footage from Deadpool 2 of the titular character dealing with the destruction of his relationship, and the visuals are linked to both the song's lyrics about rebuilding from "ashes" and its rhythm. While featuring Celine Dion prominently throughout, it provides a female gaze by showing the male lead dancing in high heels rather than objectifying women. The video also includes multiple references to other films like Titanic, Spider-Man, and NSYNC to connect it intertextually to broader popular culture.
Goodwin's theory
Andrew Goodwin was a professor of media studies at the University of San Francisco who published the first comprehensive study of MTV in 1992 called "Dancing in the Distraction Factory", in which he analyzed the characteristics of music videos. Goodwin identified several defining characteristics of music videos including genre conventions, the relationship between lyrics and visuals, the use of star image motifs, intertextual references, and whether the video takes a performance, narrative or concept-based approach.
Grizzly Bear
Grizzly Bear is an experimental indie rock band consisting of four members who employ both traditional and electronic instruments. Their sound incorporates elements of psychedelic pop, folk rock, and experimentation and is characterized by vocal harmonies. Some of their popular singles include "Two Weeks" and "While You Wait for the Others." They have toured internationally and collaborated with other artists like Radiohead.
Andrew Goodwin
Andrew Goodwin proposed a theory of music video analysis focusing on 6 key relationships: 1) Between lyrics and visuals, 2) Between music and visuals, 3) Genre-related style and iconography, 4) Close-ups of artists to promote their image, 5) Close-ups of lead artists with others in the background, and 6) Intertextual references to other media. Goodwin argued that music videos serve as advertisements to anchor meaning for songs and promote artists, rather than following common narrative structures.
Music directors
A.R. Rahman is an Indian composer and musician who has integrated Eastern classical music with electronic sounds and world music genres in his film compositions. He has won two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and numerous other awards. Rahman has directed music in several Bollywood films and popular albums.

Question 1 in what ways does your media
The document discusses the genre, conventions, and examples of indie pop and dream pop music videos. It analyzes the song "Hold on Me" by Cadence Kid, which falls under the genres of indie pop and dream pop. These genres typically feature lyrics about teenage experiences and coming of age.

The document provides examples of indie pop bands and analyzes shots from the created music video that depict the protagonist with his date, linking the imagery to the lyrics. Handheld camera footage was used to add calculated shakiness.
Andrew goodwin’s theory
Andrew Goodwin's theory proposes 7 key ideas for analyzing music videos: 1) Videos demonstrate genre characteristics through performances or dances. 2) Lyrics can be illustrated, amplified, or contradicted by visuals. 3) Music and visuals also have an illustrative, amplifying, or contradictory relationship. 4) Record labels demand close-ups of artists and motifs recurring in their work. 5) Videos frequently reference looking and treat the female body voyeuristically. 6) Videos often make intertextual references to other media. 7) Videos are categorized as performance, narrative or concept-based and how elements of each are used.

Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics through elements like stage performances, dance routines, and aspirations. They also show relationships between the lyrics and visuals, as well as the music and visuals, which can be illustrative, amplifying, or contradictory. Additional common features include close ups, references to looking through screens and mirrors, and intertextuality with other media. Audiences use music videos for identification, surveillance or information gathering, and entertainment or diversion.

Intertextuality in Titanium
This document discusses the concept of intertextuality and provides examples found in the music video for Titanium by David Guetta featuring Sia. It references how Titanium contains allusions to films by Steven Spielberg from the 1970s-80s that create a sense of suburban American childhood. Specifically, it references how the video borrows the same child actor from JJ Abrams' 2011 film Super 8, an homage to Spielberg. The document analyzes how these intertextual references enhance the video's representations and position audiences.
Goodwin theory 2
This document analyzes the music video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. It summarizes that the video represents the indie genre through its costumes, location, and body language. While the lyrics discuss a lack of change, the steady shots in the video do not relate to the rhythm of the music. The video aims to sell the artist as ignorant and rude to potentially appeal to female and male audiences looking for a "bad boy" figure to relate to. Close-ups and long shots are both used effectively to represent the artist's image and body language.

It mentions popular disco artists from the 1970s like the Bee Gees, Boney M and Gloria Gaynor. The document questions what defines disco music and where its roots can be traced.
Andrew Goodwin's Theory
Andrews' theory is that music videos are essentially advertisements meant to create specific meanings for songs, rather than illuminate inherent meanings. Music videos can depict genre characteristics through imagery like dance routines or aspirations. They also often relate the visuals directly to song lyrics, or amplify meanings beyond the lyrics. Record labels influence music videos to feature artists prominently and appeal sexually to promote sales.
Classroom procedures

These include procedures for entering and exiting the classroom, getting into groups, responding to announcements, using laptops and what to do if they malfunction, going to the bathroom, and packing up at the end of class. The teacher is asked to share these procedures with groups and get feedback on negative learning behaviors observed and procedures that could address them.

Media technologies evaluation
During the research stage, the student used Survey Monkey to conduct audience research on what viewers wanted in an Alt-J music video. Footage from interviews with a DSLR camera was edited in Final Cut Pro. For planning, Google Maps was used to choose filming locations, Microsoft Word for a shooting schedule, and a DSLR camera to take test shots. The music video was constructed using Final Cut Pro to edit footage and add filters/transitions. Photoshop was used to design album artwork, posters, and a digipak. Evaluation involved uploading work to Blogger and presenting on SlideShare to receive audience feedback on YouTube and the blog.

Child labour
Child labour remains a significant problem in India. An estimated 218 million children aged 5-17 are engaged in child labour, including 126 million in hazardous work. Poverty is a major driving factor, as many families rely on children's work for survival. Child labour hinders children's education and development, and exposes them to physical and psychological risks. While laws and policies prohibit the worst forms of child labour, implementation challenges remain. Non-profits work to rehabilitate children and advocate for their rights, but continued awareness efforts and social reforms are needed to fully address the roots of the issue.
