What we've done so far...

So far we have analysed various music videos from different genres and pulled them apart using the Goodwin theory. Having made presentations we presented them to the class using descriptive technical language. We also spent a lesson working on a song called 'Crystal Lake', where we brainstormed and created ideas for a music video.


This is a list of Goodwins theories which we have looked into during our build up to our music video task:

• Links between Lyrics and Visuals
• Links between Music and Visuals (Complimentary, Contradicting or Amplification)
• Genre characteristics
• Intertextual reference
• Notions of Looking (objectification of women)
• Voyerism (direct gaze, other people looking at artist, insight into artists life, screens and mirrors)
• Demands of the Record Label (representation of the artist)
• Performance based, Narrative based or Concept based music videos
