The document discusses Andrew Goodwin's theory of repetition in music videos, where images and footage are repeated to mirror repetition in songs like choruses. The document provides an example where certain footage was repeated three times in the author's music video. It also discusses concepts of amplification and disjuncture in how music videos can relate to or depart from song lyrics, and provides the author's music video as an example of using locations familiar to the target audience to follow these concepts.

 According to Andrew Goodwin’s theory he talks about repetition. Images are repeated to mirror the way the song repeats choruses or lines. They rely on this repetition because they want the audience to become familiar with the genre, and have certain expectations when it comes to rhythm.  In my music video the repetition of certain footage was repeated three times. This was incorporated into the ancillary work for the release date as well.
This image was repeated 3 times in the music video. The traffic light changed on the 3rd light.
 The developed concept into the ancillary product. My group decided that the release date for the album would be on the 03/03/2013.  The track list has 13 songs including a bonus track. The music video single Disappear is the 3rd track on the album. The artist Rihanna has also done this for her ancillary product creating anticipation for the album release.
The number 7 is related to the fact that this would be her 7th studio album release. As a way to promote her album she did 7 tours, In 7 countries for 7 days.
 Amplification- Introduction of new meaning to the lyrics that don’t contradict them, but add to the layers.  Disjuncture- When the video and lyrics have little connection. Our target audience from the dubstep genre listen to the beat of the song, and enjoy the visual element of music videos. The original artist Katy B’s music videos aren’t narrative structured, but use the same concept so that the video is exciting to watch.

 The locations of our music video allowed us to follow this theory of disjuncture and amplification. They follow the urban surrounding that the target audience will be familiar with. The box park doesn’t have anything to do with the lyrics it is completely random (Disjuncture) the big X symbolizes a mark where something that has disappeared can be found this is part of (Amplification) of the lyrics/meaning.
 She studied editing and camera work closely, and found that music videos use frequent edits which have a rhythmic base connected to the song by cutting in time with the beat.  My music video- There is evidence of a base track the camera is constantly moving and following the artist. It is cut in time with the beat (every 4 counts).

In his music video there is evidence of a base track, because the same footage repeats itself. This song is fast paced which is why the editing is closely rhythmic based. The camera is always moving and isn’t static. The use of the editing and camera mirrors the tempo of the song itself.
