Andrew Goodwin Theory
3. Upload 5 (minimum!) music videos that have narrative, performance or abstract elements. Write a short paragraph under each video using media terms -
EG "I've chosen this video because it fits with Andrew Goodwin's theory of the star image. The opening sequence shows multiple close up shots and long shots of the artist which creates the impression that... I also like the low key lighting which suits the Indie genre. It creates a sombre mood and fits with the lyrics '............'"
A quick reminder from the lesson..
Performance Video
q Contains
mostly
performance (dance, instrumental focus on star)
q Often shows the vocalist(s) in one or
more settings
q Common examples = recording
studio / rehearsal room.
q But the performance can take place
anywhere, from the bath tube to outer space! Walking down the street is another
performance cliché, which is common in rap videos.
qAlmost every music video includes lip
synching.
Some videos combines song and dance performances.
q Michael Jackson’s videos often contain
dance performance. Instrumental performance is not so common, but it occurs
occasionally. Concert performance on stage with audience is so common that it
has its own category, the concert clip
Narrative Video
q If a music video clip is most
appropriately understood as a short silent movie to a musical background, it is
a narrative clip.
q A narrative clip contains
a visual story that is easy to follow.
q A pure narrative clip contains no
lip-synchronized singing.
Abstract / Artistic Video
üNo
perceptible visual narrative
üNo
lip-synchronized singing
üRepetition
of images
üFast
paced zooming, short cuts, vivid colour pallet, shapes, movements
üOften
a more artistic video with modern, experimental music such as electro-acoustic
music.
