Andrew Goodwin’s Theory and Analysis of Music Videos
This document outlines Andrew Goodwin's theory for analyzing music videos based on codes and conventions. It discusses several elements:
1) Seeing the sounds - how the visuals relate to the music through illustration, amplification, or contradiction. Faster songs use quick cuts while slower songs use longer shots.
2) Narrative and performance - videos need a storyline and performance element to engage viewers. Artists typically act as both performer and narrator.
3) Star image - videos promote the artist as the main subject and increase their profile through close-ups and screen time. Artists develop signature styles of representation.
4) Relation of visuals to song - videos can disjuncture, amplify, or illustrate

The music video will tell a narrative of nostalgia through flashbacks. It will cut between footage of the artist's performance in the present and flashbacks to his childhood. Low camera angles will be used for the present scenes and high angles for the childhood flashbacks to convey vulnerability. Minimal props are needed, with locations being the artist's house and outdoors. Two actors are required - one for the artist and one child actor, with possibly another child. Filming will occur with low light for present scenes and bright light for childhood flashbacks.

How to write your music video treatment
The document provides guidance on writing an effective treatment for a music video. It explains that a treatment is used in the industry to convey directorial ideas in more detail than a pitch. The treatment must take the reader through the story of the video, bringing across characters and events without providing more information than what will be seen. It should be 1-2 pages and grip the reader from the first line, making them want to keep reading until the end. Students must submit an individual treatment and can produce a group storyboard, with the deadline for both being Thursday, October 13. The provided template outlines elements that should be included in the treatment, such as artist, song, genre, concept overview, characters, locations, and visual elements

The goal is to entertain audiences while advertising the artist's music and setting the tone for how the song should be interpreted.

Music video proposal and treatment
- 1. Beth Melia Music Video Proposal and Treatment Song:Sweet Disposition Artist:The Temper Trap My target audience for this music video will be aimed at teenagers. My secondary audience will be to young adults. The video will be to the song Sweet Disposition by the Australian indie band The Temper Trap. The genre of the song is indie, it’s upbeat and fun. The lyrics are relatable to my target audience, and the feel of what I want my music video to feel like, with lyrics such as “A moment of love, A dream, A laugh, A kiss, A cry, Our rights, Our wrongs”. As my target audience will be teenagers/young adults they can relate to this. The video type will be a concept video based on the lives of teenagers of normal teenagers in today’s society. I want it to show the ups and downs of being a teenager and growing up; I want it to focus on the normal things of real life, with real footage (and rehearsed shots when needed). I think this will appeal to target audience because they will be able to relate to it. Guild lines and Considerations 1) It is a concept video. 2) There’s no story to it. 3) It’s purely based on “random footage” of daily lives. 4) It is supposed to look cheaply made, keeping with a ‘student’ feel. 5) Extras used will be anyone willing to be in the video at home/college/work. 6) Will be shot indoors and outdoors. 7) Lighting should be kept high key. 8) Within editing a few filters will be used for example, Black and white or sepia Here are a few examples of the ideas I’m trying to get across Music Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGuau204JZY – King Charles- Ivory Road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeqhcRbWaSc - Bombay Bicycle Club tour dairy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys7-6_t7OEQ – Justin Bieber Ft.

Final Concept 1) Intro (Instrumental Part)- the intro of the song is about 10 seconds long, long enough to introduce each character briefly. As it will be a “day in the life of” based video, it will start at the beginning of the day showing the girls doing their daily things- e.g. getting up, getting ready for college, their trip to college (bus). Over the shoulder shots will be used looking into the mirror in front of each girl. Each girl will be doing things like their makeup/hair. Quick fading transitions will be used to see each clip. This should be the only section that looks properly rehearsed. I want the rest to look real. 2) “A moment of love, A dream, A laugh, A kiss, A cry, our rights, our wrongs” - These lyrics are repeated though out the song. For the first time they are sang it is at a slow chilled pace, this is where I will place establishing shots that will pan across different landscapes of mornings (cold, sunny, frosty)
