Andrew Goodwin proposed a theory that defines the typical structure and components of music videos. He identified 7 key principles that are usually present in order for music videos to effectively convey their message and promote the artist. These include links between the lyrics and visuals, links between the music and visuals, genre characteristics, notions of looking and voyeurism, multiple close-ups of the artist, and intertextual references. Goodwin believed incorporating these principles allows record labels to successfully market and construct stars out of their artists.Andrew Goodwins Theory of Analysis

The document summarizes some key characteristics and features that are commonly found in music videos according to Goodwin's book "Dancing in the Distraction Factory". These include: 1) Demonstrating genre characteristics through elements like stage performances for metal videos and dance routines for boy/girl bands. 2) Having a relationship between the lyrics and visuals, either illustrating, amplifying, or contradicting the lyrics. 3) Having a relationship between the music and visuals where the tone and atmosphere of the visual reflects the music.Syma rahman evaluation

The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media. It summarizes that the music video uses disjuncture by having nothing to do with the song lyrics, but captures the diva personality through actions and style. It applies theories of male gaze by portraying the female performer as desirable, and Vernallis' theory by precisely editing shots to the beat. Influences include Material Girl for its diva atmosphere and Madonna's acting.Media still comparison

The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their audience in their film project. They began with a gentle title sequence in black and white to set a calm but intense mood. Close-up shots of the main character were used to connect with the audience and convey her emotions. Popular songs by Rihanna and Petey Pablo were chosen for the soundtrack because their music has a similar audience to the target audience for the film and relates to themes in the story. The film was inspired by Step Up but aims for a more niche teenage girl audience, whereas Step Up appealed to a broader family audience.Pop music video analysis By M.Raja & Rezma

The music video for NeYo's "Let Me Love You" uses visuals to reinforce the romantic and sexual themes in the lyrics. When NeYo sings "Let me love you," the scene cuts to him and a woman getting intimate in bed. As the song builds intensity, the lighting and dancing become more energetic. Common conventions like sexual imagery and dance sequences help classify the video as pop. NeYo's dancing and reflection in water portray him constantly improving as an artist. The objectification of women, such as a female on a chain, symbolize NeYo's dominance and control.Applying goodwin's ideas (1)

The music video for "Live Your Life" by T.I. and Rihanna tells the narrative story of T.I.'s life through flashbacks. It shows him both in the past, dressed in baggy clothes, and in the present, dressed in a suit, to represent the success he has achieved. The visuals closely match the lyrics of the song, conveying the same story. While the video focuses mostly on T.I., it also shows Rihanna singing on stage in sync with the music. Editing and camera techniques like slow motion are used to match the feel of the pop song genre.Love me again

The music video is for the song "Love Me Again" by artist John Newman. It aims to appeal to a younger audience, tell a story, and promote the artist and song. It portrays the artist as having desperate and mixed emotions through happy dancing imagery while singing lyrics crying for help. The visuals match the music well, with slow visuals at the beginning matching the slow music and speeding up as the song speeds up. While the lyrics don't fully match the visuals, leaving viewers to wonder about multiple meanings. It contains voyeuristic elements like private eye contact and kissing between the main boy and girl actors. The video also references other works like Romeo and Juliet through its narrative and dancing scenes.Music video theory

This document provides a textual analysis of the music video for Miguel's song "How Many Drinks" in 3 sentences:
The video is primarily a performance by Miguel singing and dancing on stage towards the camera, though it also has narrative elements as he lip syncs the lyrics. Miguel uses close up shots, dancers, live instruments, and stylized lighting to enhance the jazz genre and give the feeling of a live concert being performed for both the audience and a character. The analysis suggests the main audience for the video is females, as Miguel sings and performs facial expressions that could be seen as sexually attractive like licking his lips.Performance

The document discusses performance styles in indie music videos. It notes that most indie videos feature instrumental performances by band members. However, the discussed video does not include a band performance due to the creators not having band members or friends in a band. Instead, it features a solo dance performance by Bronte to represent the song, focusing the audience on the music itself. Bronte's dance uses modern and ballet styles and acts as a climax to represent the song's theme and lyrics, similarly to other music videos. Her solo singing performance is also used to represent the song's theme in a different style than typical indie videos.Pop music video analysis By RJ & MR

The document discusses musical form and structure. It explains that musical phrases are the smallest units of form, typically lasting about one breath. Composers use repetition of phrases to unify their work and introduce contrasting sections to add interest. This creates complete sections that can be further developed. Common musical forms are described, including AB, ABA, AABA, sonata form, theme and variations, and rondo. Musical form acts as a blueprint that combines musical events through repetition and contrast, similar to architectural structures.Music video theory

Lana Del Rey's music video for "Young and Beautiful" features symbolic imagery and a dark aesthetic to match the song's themes of aging, loneliness, and lost love. Del Rey is often shown alone through mirrors or in isolated close-ups that emphasize her character's fears. Somber lighting, color schemes, costumes, and film effects create a haunting tone. The video primarily focuses on the performance of the song rather than directly illustrating its lyrics, though some shots connect to the lyrics through symbolic use of lighting and Del Rey's expressions.

Dua Lipa is an English singer and songwriter whose career began with YouTube covers at age 14. She was signed by Warner Music Group in 2015 and released her first single "New Love" soon after. The music video for her single "Be the One" uses lighting, editing, camerawork and styling that demonstrate characteristics of the indie pop genre. Through close-ups, location shots, and fast editing, the video tells a narrative that represents Lipa's personality and style while visually interpreting the song's lyrics and theme. Lipa's tomboy glam appearance in monochrome colors and statement pieces draws influence from her carefree attitude.Codes and Conventions

These include: 1) A relationship between the lyrics and visuals where the themes, scenes, and events of the video match the song's message. 2) A relationship between the music and visuals where cuts and edits sync with the rhythm and beats. 3) Demonstration of genre characteristics through expected features. 4) Reference to notions of the male gaze and treatment of the female body. 5) Demands from record labels to showcase the artist through close-ups. 6) Intertextual references to other media.

The document provides an analysis of the music video for "Lean On" by Major Lazer. It finds some relationships between the lyrics and visuals but also instances where they do not match. It notes that the video cuts to the beat of the music. The artist is portrayed sexually to appeal to younger audiences, and girls in the video are dressed provocatively and dance in a sexualized manner. While there are no references to other works, the video is similar to Major Lazer's other videos in its focus on dance and use of girls. The video is deemed more conceptual than narrative-based due to its random dancing without a story.Lana del rey textual analysis

The music video for Lana Del Rey's song "Young and Beautiful" draws from several conventions of indie rock music videos and Lana Del Rey's own style. It features dark, blurry filming with dim lighting to create a vintage atmosphere. Close-up shots of Lana Del Rey lip syncing are intended to connect her personally with audiences. While largely based on performance, the video also links some lyrics visually, such as through lighting effects representing heaven. The isolated framing of Lana Del Rey further reflects the song's themes of growing old alone.Music video analysis transition work

Sven E Carlsson's music video theory is demonstrated in The Cranberries' music video for "Zombie". The video fits Carlsson's category of a conceptual clip that uses artistic ambitions beyond just showing a performance. It represents the band as televised bards, using on-screen images to tell a story. The video effectively uses music, lyrics, and moving images to communicate meaning. It synchronizes visuals like camera movements and color changes with the music's tones and beats. The lyrics and visuals also interact metaphorically to add deeper meaning. The director rearranges motifs throughout to form a cohesive whole that reflects the genre characteristics of rock music videos like narrative shots and changing emotions.Music videos kings of leon

- 1. Analysis of Music Video Mirror Lil Wayne Ft Bruno Mars ManorajSivantharajah& Michael Kirby
- 2. Camera work Close ups- shows emotion, Tattoos shows that he has past and what makes him himself. Razor blade shows dark past and perhaps self hatred. Wide shots- Establish where they are and put them into context. Hand Held- shows song getting more fast pace and almost make it a POV shot from the viewer Medium shots- To show what the singers are doing within the music video. Panning Shots- All very slow to show the movement of the paint and to expresses what is happening to the singers in terms of the music video
- 3. Editing Long Takes- allows the audience to focus on his tattoos so they can see the underlying meaning of his past. Short Takes- represents that things are starting to happen within the music video and perhaps he is starting to make a change Slow motion- adds emphasis to the video especially as the red paint symbolizes things also it is aesthetically pleasing which engages the audience. Montage- Not physically but mentally the whole music video accompanied by the lyrics is of lilwayne rejuvenating himself. Pull focus Recreates a human eye squinting and refocusing as if experiencing self realization which is an underlying theme of the song. Which makes it an implicit/sub textual meaning of the song.
- 4. Sound Music- As the music video is a song there is musc present within the song. Juxtaposition- The pace of the song and lyrics is slow which juxtaposes the paint bucket being kicked and the short takes Synchronus sound- The singers are in sync with the lyrics and it is all sung in time.
- 5. Special effects God Like effect- (0.27) An effect has been put behind Lil Wayne to emphasis his power and makes him look angelic as if God is behind him both physically and metaphorically. Contrast changes- They have heightened the contrast to show between the dark and the light and also emphasis the color of the red.
- 6. Mise-en-scene Lighting- Contrast between tattoos where is dark and the angelic lighting at 0.27 which can represent his past and his new found future or his realization which can also be suggested by the name of the song Mirror and the lyrics. Tattoos- shows a lot about his past and suggests a lot about him self. It also an arguably signifier of his genre. Red The red connotates a lot of things such as love, anger, danger etc. The color is also contrasted with the black paint and the general darkness within the video.
- 7. Laura Mulvey Theory The song which is from the genre of RnB which is popular to emphasis Mulveys male gaze theory. However this song contradicts this theory as there is no mention of women nor any present female characters or objects associated with the male gaze theory.
