The lyrics describe a damaging but fulfilling relationship, and the dark, damp location and lighting of the video help portray this theme through its visuals and atmosphere.

This music video for "The Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance uses several techniques from Andrew Goodwin's music video theory. It draws on conventions of the rock genre but subverts expectations by being narrative-driven rather than focused on performance. The video is set in 1940s-era America during war time and contrasts scenes of dancing with scenes of battle. It establishes characters and relationships through costumes, lyrics, and music tempo that link to the narrative. Close-ups of the band members also help develop their iconic styles.
Media don broco
Andrew Goodwin identified several characteristics common in music videos. These include a relationship between lyrics and visuals where images represent lyrics, and between music and visuals where videos can illustrate, amplify, or contrast with the music. Music videos also demonstrate genre traits and feature close-ups of artists as demanded by record labels. There are often references to looking through screens and mirrors, and intertextual references to other media like films and television shows.
RESEARCH: A2 Media Music Video Analysis (Alternative Genre)
I did not find any explicit intertextual references to other films, TV programs or music videos in the "We Are Young" music video by Fun. The video focuses on depicting the song's lyrics through a narrative of a chaotic party scene. While it utilizes some common music video techniques like close-ups, slow motion and performance shots, it does not directly reference or allude to any other existing media texts.
Task 1 - Goodwin's Theory
The document analyzes six music videos using Goodwin's theory of six elements: illustration, amplifying, contradicting, iconography, voyeurism, and intertextuality. For each element, a different music video is discussed and analyzed in terms of how it uses that element. The summaries provide the music video analyzed and a brief description of how it fits the given element. For example, for illustration the video analyzed is "Riptide" by Vance Joy, which directly depicts the lyrics through short clips.
Music video analysis
Enter Shikari's song "The Last Garrison" belongs to the alternative metal genre, which incorporates elements of heavy metal, hardcore punk, and progressive rock. The music video features close-up shots of the band members performing in a warehouse space. The lighting and editing change rapidly throughout the video to match the fast pace and intensity of the song. The purpose of the video is to promote the song and appeal to Enter Shikari's target audience of 14-19 year old rock and metal fans.
Crystal whites evaluation 1
The document discusses how the media producer's music video for the band The Crystal Whites uses and develops conventions of the indie rock genre. It analyzes influences from other indie rock music videos to incorporate key elements such as close-up shots of instruments, scenes of the band playing, and narratives that focus on the emotions of the song rather than self-promotion. While including these conventions, the producer aims to add their own creative flair and give the video its own distinctive style. Footage and influences are discussed from bands such as Oasis, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Jake Bugg to showcase how conventions are implemented in signed and unsigned bands alike.
Evaluation question 1
The document provides an analysis of how the student's media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music videos. It discusses the use of narrative through storytelling that relates to the song lyrics. Genre conventions of indie/rock music videos are explored through examples like location, clothing, and instrumentation. Representation of social class, age, and gender align with typical portrayals in indie music. Cinematography techniques, editing, mise-en-scene, and sound work to develop the narrative and reinforce the genre. Audience feedback confirmed the project achieved its goals of mirroring real music video forms and conventions.
Crystal whites evaluation 1 final
The document discusses conventions of the indie rock music genre and how they were used and developed in the media product. Some key conventions discussed include the use of narrative to convey the emotion behind lyrics rather than for self-promotion, close-ups of the artist to create intimacy, and footage of the full band playing to emphasize the music. The media product challenges conventions by adding its own creative flair while maintaining traditions like focusing on the band through shots of them performing.
Elliot Woodward Music Video Anaylsis
The music video for Bastille's "The Things We Lost in the Fire" illustrates several of Andrew Goodwin's characteristics of music videos. It demonstrates the indie rock genre through a creative story-based performance that reflects the breakup experience that inspired the song's lyrics. The narrative is linked to the lyrics through symbolic visuals, and the tone and pacing of the visuals matches the atmosphere of the music. Close-ups of the lead singer are used to convey emotion. The video also establishes Bastille's visual style through its use of location changes and cross-cutting between the performance and story elements.
Elliot Woodward Music Video Anaylsis
The music video for Avicii's "Wake Me Up" tells a narrative story of a mother and daughter who arrive in a strange town where they feel unwelcome. The mother attends a party where Avicii performs on stage. The video contrasts the old town with the colorful music festival party scene. It demonstrates the indie electronic music genre through its natural lighting, subtle yet varied color palette, and two central locations. The lyrics and visuals illustrate the story of the mother and daughter seeking a sense of belonging.
Music Video Analysis
The document summarizes and analyzes four music videos for different indie/punk rock bands. It examines how each video demonstrates characteristics of the genres through elements like clothing, instruments, and being performance-based. It also looks at how the videos create relationships between the lyrics, music, and visuals to further illustrate and amplify the song. Each video is seen to have its own unique visual style while still fitting with conventions of music videos and their respective genres.
Treatment sheet
The document provides a treatment sheet for a music video for the song "Radioactive" by Kings of Leon. It outlines the concept, which is to create a video that better reflects the song's themes of the band's southern roots, in contrast to the original video. It details plans to film in northern England and juxtapose religious and rock music themes. It also discusses performance elements like lighting variations, camera angles focused on the performer and instruments, and scenes of the performer driving and playing guitar to sync with the music.
Textual analysis 1
The music video for "Houdini" by Foster The People is a hybrid of performance and narrative elements. It begins with the band performing, but the stage lighting falls and "kills" them, beginning a narrative section. Producers in black suits then mimic the band's performance using their bodies. The video cuts between this narrative and performance sections. Throughout, close-ups of the band and lighting emphasize their performance, while the narrative and lyrics suggest artists feel constrained by the music industry.

Analysis of a music video from the same genre
- 1. By Meera Shah ENTER
- 2. Watch this Video First http://www.youtube.com/v/fLsBJPlGIDU The video contains the four band members all on one boat that is riding through the rough sea that is not affecting them. They have all the equipment on the boat as you can see in the clip that they have the drums, the guitars, the lights. They have used special effects to get a foggy but clear background surrounding as this is filmed before sunset and after sunset as you can see that in the video when it goes to night time with the stars shining. This video symbolises that they are stronger together and it shows they have creativity to use what ever they have in order to film this video in the middle of nowhere.
- 3. The Genre characteristics of INDIE ROCK GENRE. Indie rock has been independent which describes the small and relatively attitude of the band and artist to do it yourself. Although distribution deals are often struck with major corporate companies, these labels and the bands they host have attempted to retain their autonomy, leaving them free to explore sounds, emotions and subjects of limited appeal to large, mainstream audiences. However I think that this video shows the characteristics of dark colours as the indie rock genre represents the use of black, blue, white and grey colours and I think that this video shows them all wearing black they have the lighting in blue and they have I also see some smoke so this means they have a smoke machine used in the video which gives us ideas to use the smoke machine in our music video. The use of light and dark shows that they are keeping to the genre characterisitics.
- 4. There is a relationship between the lyrics and visual as the video shows that the band are on a boat and they are in the middle of the river where the lyrics say crying lightning. this means that in the they are crying while the weather is raining and there is lightning and thunder which emphasises that the weather is crying lightning as it shown in the video at 1minute and 24 seconds.
- 5. There is a relationship between the music and visuals is quite contradicting as it shows them on a boat performing in the middle of the ocean with lights on while it’s raining where the music is about crying lightning. The relationship between the music and the visuals is amplifying because it talks about them music crying lightning and the visual is showing that lightning is crying.
- 6. There are loads of close ups of each member especially the lead singer. There are a few full length shots and some long shots of the whole band together to emphasise that they are a band that is together wherever they go.
- 7. There is a frequent reference of them looking at the sky and seeing themselves perform while lightning strikes them.
- 8. There is a intertextual reference to the film seven ages of rock about the indie pop. It has reference to the film titanic where it shows the titanic ship in the middle of the ocean.
