Goodwin’s theory Relationshipsbetween lyrics and visuals Relationship between music and visuals Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics Label demands close ups of artists Frequent reference to notion or looking and voyeuristic treatment of female body Inter-textual references between other films, tv, music videos…etc
- 3. Lyrics and visuals The visuals represent the lyrics of the song Everything he sings the video shows what he said. This is carried on through the whole video. “Hanging round there in “Brother the dark” you look like the Taj Mahal”
- 4. Music and Visuals In parts of the music video the video changes to match the music. As certain parts of music plays the visuals change to show an object that looks like they make the noise of the song. This happens in the form of flashing dots coming on screen or the objects changing changing into something else.
- 5. Genre characteristic The abstracttype of music video reflects the genre because music and band are alternative and abstract themselves. Creating a unique aspect to make a video for. This video is mainly concept based and is typical for an alternative music genre.
- 6. Notion of Looking There is no voyeuristic treatment of women in this video as it is not the typical genre There is no notion of looking within the video either as it is a straight animation and features no screens, performance, or images of the real world. As it is an animation there is also no particular shots seen within the video. Each scene flows into the next and there are no pople to show so there are no shots of the artist or any other people that may have any importance within the song.
- 7. Inter-textual references Thereare no inter textual references in this video, which I think is normal for a generic music video, but alternative music do often feature some minor reference to another piece of work, but this is not seen in this video.
