Avenged sevenfold analysis
The video demonstrates characteristics of the rock genre through shots of the band playing with a focus on the drums as the tempo changes. The lyrics and visuals match the theme of death and the afterlife, showing darkness and escaping. The style is mostly a performance, but also has elements of a narrative as the song progresses through time. The music speed increases as the lyrics become about breaking free from the afterlife, corresponding to the determination expressed in the lyrics. Intertextual references include themes of moving on from issues and struggles to overcome problems.
The promise
The document summarizes the genre characteristics and elements of a music video. It is a performance-based video that frequently shows the artist singing and playing guitar on stage. The visuals illustrate and correspond to the lyrics, showing a girl in bed when the song talks about not wanting to get out of bed. The video aims to appeal to teenagers by featuring a teenage girl and focusing on close-ups of the artist, meeting the demands of the record label.
Bittersweet symphony
The video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve features Richard Ashcroft walking down a North London street disconnected from his surroundings. It reinforces the song's themes of detachment and impermanence through shots of Ashcroft obliviously interacting with pedestrians on the transient street. The editing follows the beat of the song and focuses on Ashcroft's emotional removal from his environment to portray how the audience should feel about the situation.
Music video analysis

Andrew goodwin’s theory on music video’s
Andrew Goodwin theorized that music videos tend to adhere to the typical characteristics of their genre. For example, most rap videos feature scantily clad women dancing in the background to amplify the sexual lyrics. Band videos usually tell a story that narrates the lyrics, such as a love song depicting a relationship. Goodwin believed the genre of the music directly links to the style and symbolic imagery of the music video.
Musical genres 12
This document outlines and describes various musical genres. It discusses vocal and instrumental genres, as well as genres that combine both vocal and instrumental music. Religious genres include liturgical music used in ceremonies and non-liturgical music. Profane genres do not have a religious purpose and include popular music styles like folk and light music as well as cultured music. Functional genres are used for commemorations and ceremonies. Cinematographic music enhances emotions in films, while theatre genres include opera, ballet and dance music. Finally, publicity genres are used in advertising on radio and television.
Musical theatre notes
Musical theater scores traditionally use a full orchestra and develop motifs associated with characters or events. Leitmotifs are recurring sounds that cue the audience when a specific character appears or something happens on stage. Music is also used to set mood and atmosphere through both diegetic sounds from within the story and non-diegetic sources to build tension and emotion. The music directly correlates to and enhances the acting, dancing, and plot progression in order to clearly guide the audience's understanding.
Performance 2
The document discusses the elements of a cultural performance presentation. It explains that the presentation involves simulating through clothing, accent, dance, and music aspects of a chosen culture. Key elements that are important to the performance include having no shame, accurately portraying reality, using creativity, and incorporating music. Music is described as a universal language that can be used to explain the culture. The document also provides examples of cultures that could be represented (such as England, Ireland, US) and types of music that could be included in the performance.
