New divide analysis
Linkin Park's music video for "New Divide" from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack features footage from the film intercut with shots of the band performing. Directed by Linkin Park DJ Joe Hahn, the video uses techniques like quick cuts, shaky camera work, and close ups to synchronize the visuals with the song's beats and lyrics.

The video promotes both the band and the Transformers franchise while showcasing Linkin Park's signature energetic rock style.
Media Studies - Music Videos
This music video for Emeli Sande's song "Heaven" uses contrasts in media language to represent the conflict between temptation and redemption expressed in the lyrics. Scenes of social realism depicting the negative consequences of temptation are juxtaposed with ethereal scenes signifying transcendence and the possibility of redemption. The video represents a diverse range of people and celebrates street life while also conveying the message that giving in to temptation can have sad consequences. It uses techniques like performance, narrative, gritty imagery, and uplifting music and lighting to communicate these themes.
Music Video Theorists
The document discusses several key aspects of music videos identified by Andrew Goodwin, including thought beats, narrative and performance, star images, technical aspects, and the relationship between visuals and song. It explains Goodwin's three steps for identifying thought beats: examining song structure and music, listening to the artist's voice, and understanding the artist's role as storyteller. The document also discusses the importance of narrative, star image, technical elements, and Roland Barthes' codes for analyzing narrative texts. Finally, it summarizes Vladimir Propp's eight character types commonly found in narratives.

It discusses several key features of music videos including demonstrating genre characteristics, relating lyrics to visuals, focusing on the artist, and technical aspects. The video illustrates the upbeat electronic dance music genre through colorful costumes and a carefree atmosphere at a festival. It also relates some lyrics to images while ignoring the deeper religious meaning of the song.
Pros and Cons
This document provides pros and cons analyses of three potential songs for a music video: "Stitches - The Dykeenies" which has an energetic introduction and catchy lyrics but the band already has a video for the song; "Indecision - Acoustic Jim" has good lyrics and personal style but mediocre repetitive vocals; and "Live Like We're Dying - Kris Allen (Tyler Ward Version)" has good vocals, meaningful lyrics for a narrative, but Kris Allen is very well known and signed to a major label so copyright would be difficult to obtain.

Plain white t's
There are six key points to Goodwin's theory of music video analysis: 1) Relationship between lyrics and visuals, 2) Relationship between music and visuals, 3) Reflecting the musical genre, 4) Featuring the artist, 5) Referencing looking/voyeurism, 6) Intertextual references. This indie rock music video by Plain White T's for "Hey There Delilah" amplifies the song's meanings through its visuals, with many close-ups of the lead singer to satisfy the record label. However, it lacks intertextual references atypical for the genre.
Director research

Jonze's videos often incorporate comedy and eclectic visual styles through techniques like live-action, animation and puppetry. He typically works with rock and hip
Music video genre conventions
The document discusses conventions in music videos according to genre. Some general conventions are that the artists are shown performing, the lyrics and visuals are related, and editing pace matches the music. Specific genres may show performances, dance routines, stage shows, narrative storylines, lip syncing, depictions of wealth, dancers, mysterious/edgy tones, dark colors and makeup, or versatile combinations depending on the genre being pop, R&B/hip hop, rock/metal, or indie. Genre conventions help music videos appeal to audiences and reflect the mood and themes of the songs.

Analysis of twenty one pilots' Stressed Out
The music video for "Stressed Out" by twenty one pilots uses handheld camera work and static shots to create a sense of realism for the audience. It features settings like bedrooms and residential areas that are relatable to the audience and portray the nostalgia in the song's lyrics. The video also introduces the character of "Blurryface" and has a muted color scheme with an emphasis on red. The band's movements sync with the song and the video theme explores nostalgia and childhood to relate to the lyrics. Both band members are prominently featured conforming to genre conventions but in a way that is relatable to audiences.
Goodwins theory
This document summarizes Goodwin's theory on key features of music genres and characteristics of music videos. It identifies six features: 1) genre characteristics reflected in music videos, 2) relationship between lyrics and visuals, 3) relationship between music and visuals, 4) star image motifs, 5) notion of looking, and 6) performance, narrative or concept-based approaches. For each feature, it provides definitions and examples to illustrate common ways they are demonstrated in music videos.
Genre music videos
The document discusses genre conventions in rock, rap/hip-hop, and pop music videos. For rock videos, common elements include live music performances, guitars and drums, and studio performances representing the feelings of the music. Rap/hip-hop videos often feature urban settings, artists rapping to the camera, and either neutral or aggressive emotions. Pop videos usually tell a story or narrative through settings at clubs or parties involving younger people and lively, enthusiastic scenes relating to the upbeat music.
Giggs Conventions
The document discusses music genres that a group considered for creating a music video. They initially chose hip-hop, rap, and R&B but later changed their choice to grime. They felt grime would be more realistic as the target audience and they could relate to it better. The document then provides information about the origins and typical instruments used in grime. It also outlines conventions commonly found in hip-hop and grime music videos such as close-ups, high camera angles, dark colors, and references to record labels.
Music video analysis a tribe called quest
The song "We The People..." by A Tribe Called Quest from their final album addresses political and social issues like racial discrimination, lack of women's rights, and police brutality. The music video shows people of different races running toward a protest for equal rights, illustrating the song's message of unity among minority groups. Scenes of Q-Tip rapping in front of over a dozen microphones and cuts to a mural of the late Phife Dawg pay tribute to the band's message and deceased member. References to 1980s/1990s technology and beats suggest not much has changed since the group's earlier work.

Dream Pop presentation
Dream pop is a genre that emerged in the 1980s from alternative rock, characterized by breathy or whispered vocals, distorted guitar effects, and a focus on atmosphere over lyrics. Early influential bands like Slowdive and Cocteau Twins used heavy distortion and unintelligible vocals. More recent artists like Lower Dens still utilize distorted sounds but with more coherent vocals and conceptual music videos that depict marginalized characters. Dream pop videos often feature religious imagery, dark themes, layered transparency effects, and symbolic color motifs.
Media don broco
Andrew Goodwin identified several characteristics common in music videos. These include a relationship between the lyrics and visuals where the images represent the lyrics, a relationship between the music and visuals that can illustrate, amplify, or contrast the song's meaning, and demonstration of genre characteristics. Music videos also frequently reference looking through screens and mirrors, and include intertextual references to other media like films and television shows.
Representation
The document analyzes visual and narrative elements in the music video for the song "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. It notes the video portrays the band as young and inexperienced through scenes of them practicing in a small studio. The narrative focuses on a failed relationship, a common theme for teenagers. While the band and production have a predominantly white background, the video did not intentionally exclude other ethnicities. The industrial scenes reference the working class roots and rural American/British influences of rock music.
Analysis of The 1975's Robbers
The 1975 - Robbers music video uses handheld camera shots and natural lighting to give it a realistic, indie rock style. It features the lead singer Matt Healy with a female protagonist in various outdoor settings as their relationship becomes increasingly reckless. While the narrative gets dramatic, the slow editing and pace suits the slow song. The video emphasizes Healy's star image as the frontman through its focus on him, but also appeals to a wider audience with its inclusion of a romantic narrative.
Analysis of Panic! At The Disco's Nine In The Afternoon
The video for "Nine in the Afternoon" by Panic! At the Disco features each band member waking up in a differently colored bedroom before entering unrelated settings, such as being ambushed by women in old dresses. Though the video's events don't relate to the lyrics, clocks are set to 9 AM and it remains daytime, referencing the song's title. The video has a disjunctive, bizarre style that sells the album's unconventional title and reflects the upbeat, energetic music through happy imagery like a Beatles-inspired parade.
Goodwin’s theory of Music Videos
The document discusses several key elements that are analyzed when summarizing a music video:
1. Music videos demonstrate characteristics of their musical genre through elements like stage performances, dance routines, or aspirations.
2. There is usually a relationship between the lyrics and visuals, whether the visuals illustrate, amplify, or contradict the words of the song.
3. The tone and atmosphere of the visuals also typically reflects the music through illustration, amplification, or contradiction.
Goodwins theory
Goodwin's theory outlines several key features of music video genres:
1) Genre characteristics - music videos often reflect their musical genre through stereotypical traits like dance routines.
2) Relationship between music and visuals - visuals can be illustrative, amplifying, or contradicting of the song's lyrics and music.
3) Notion of looking - videos may include "screens within screens" or voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
Genre conventions
Rock music originated in the 1950s in the USA and later developed different subgenres like rock & roll, glam rock, and hair metal in the 1960s particularly in the UK. Rock music videos typically portray characters that are rebellious and behave recklessly, often showing a depressed or hurt side. The mise-en-scene elements in rock videos are usually dull, dark, and feature alcohol, drugs, and other substances. Iconography in rock videos mainly focuses on the lead character and cuts back to them throughout to reflect their mood, similar to R&B and hip hop videos.
Rebecca off the radar 1
The document proposes two pitches for a music video for the song "Off the Radar" by the band Changing Modes. The first pitch involves the band appearing randomly in a bored girl's day, referencing 1980s films. It would have an 1980s revival style with bright colors and patterns. The second pitch starts as a performance video but then takes a thriller turn as the band realizes they are being watched by an unknown person through security cameras and other mediums filmed in black and white. Both pitches reference influences from other artists' videos and film theories.
Media Research And Planning
The document discusses several music magazines aimed at different audiences. Kerrang targets rock fans aged 18+ and discusses bands, new albums, and tours.

NME focuses on current music and uses yellow, white, and red. It has a major article on The Killers. Drummer targets drummers and fans of bands like Gorillaz and System of a Down, using bright colors and offering free posters. It covers different music genres like rock and jazz.
Wererwolves
This story is about an ongoing fight between werewolves and vampires. The werewolves, led by Aaron Black, plan an attack on the vampires including Brian Cullen. A battle ensues between the groups where some fighters on each side are defeated. Eventually, Aaron and Jayda are able to overpower Brian, seeming to end the conflict.
