Andrew Goodwin Theory-Andrew Goodwin’s 6 Features of Music Videos
Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics. (e.g. stage performance in metal videos, dance routine for boy/girl band, aspiration in Hip Hop). [this is also known as iconography]
There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals. The lyrics are represented with images. (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
There is a relationship between music and visuals. The tone and atmosphere of the visual reflects that of the music. (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).
There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, mirrors, stages, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
There are often intertextual reference (to films, TV programmes, other music videos etc).
My music video related to some parts of Andrew
Goodwin's theory in the sense that the narrative often links to the lyrics and
the beat of the song. The visuals also relate to the music as well as the
visuals.Another way in which my music video links to Andrew
Goodwin’s theory is that my music video demonstrates basic genre
characteristics. for example I use Tone such as my form of basic genre conventions
Laura Mulvey Theory- Laura Mulvey is responsible for coming
up with the male gaze, The Male gaze
is a term discussed by Laura Mulvey in her essay, "Visual Pleasure and
Narrative Cinema" (1975). It is used to describe when the audience is put
into the perspective of a (heterosexual) man. Female characters are sexualized,
and the camera may zero in on female body parts considered sexual.My music video contrasts the male gaze theory as their isn't over sexualisation within the video and in fact there is no representation of
women as the only female used in my music video was a band member in my music
video. and the women used in my music video is band leader which connotes that she has some power.
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the
onscreen spatial relationship between a character and another character or
object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the
characters and by keeping The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline regarding
the onscreen spatial relationship between a character and another character or
object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the
characters and by keeping the camera on one side of the axis for every shot in
the scene. The first character will always be frame right of the second
character, who is always frame left of the first.
Match on action is a technique of filming used in many sorts
of films, it consists of connecting 2 shots together in which a character finishes
of an action in the second shot that was started in the first one, for example
walking through a door in which he opens the door being filmed from behind then
the clip cuts to him walking through from the other one.
the camera on one side of the axis for every shot in the
scene. The first character will always be frame right of the second character,
who is always frame left of the first.
I have a
band, there are close-ups of the band to give the audience another focus
feature throughout the song
Second shot
midshot
this shot
was used to highlight that the environment isn't the main focus but instead
the main character, it shows us a little bit of how the character feels and
shows his point of view in the sense he is bored and tired in the scene
Third shot
long shot/
two shot
This is
showing everyone in the shot, it is always showing all the character's point
of view and also giving a connotation that life for the character is like a
long empty pathway.
Fourth shot
wide shot/weather
shot
This shot
was used to emphasise the mise en scene which is that the character is in a
playground but he is by himself, it outlines the themes
of loneliness and isolation. this shot was also a weather shot
as you can see that it is raining, which sets the tone of the production in
the sense that rain is often used when a situation or person is depressed or
upset.
Fifth shot
Long shot
Another long shot was used to show the journey towards friendship and
moving away from isolation and “
becoming numb”
Sixth shot
Close up shot
Another close up shot of the band to break up the main storyline and
showcase the tiny performance element of the music video.
Seventh shot
Mid shot
A mid shot is being used to show how everyone is on the inside but
the main character is on the outside.
Eighth shot
Point of view shot
Used to show how the character feels when entering the room, will he
be welcomed? What will people think/ it leaves the character aware of his
surroundings but also makes him intrigued.
ninth shot
over the shoulder shot
This
shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of
looking at one person from the other's point of view.
Tenth shot
Medium close up
It focuses on all the characters however it doesn’t indicate that
there is a main focus within the scene.
Eleventh shot
Long shot (camera angle tilted)
This was a long shot but the angle of the shot was tilted, this is
showing the climax built up within the scene. As we can see everything within
the shot and we can see how the character goes from calm to aggressive.
Twelfth shot
Close up
The setting has changed however the close up enables us to focus
solely on the state and facial expression of the main character.
Thirteenth shot
Extreme close up
Like the twelfth shot the extreme shot is used to also show the
facial expression and feeling of the character, but the close up can also be
used to help the audience empathise with the character, they’re so close him
it feels like they are him, and they are going through everything the main
character is going through.
Fourthteenth shot
close up shot
You can see that a point of view shot is being used to show the
solution that the character has come to.
Type of
shot
Reason/description
Fifth teeth shot
Low angle shot
The low angle shot was used to exaggerate the building used within
the suicide plot, it makes the building seem very high up, essentially it is
supposed to add an element of fear to my music video
Sixteenth shot
Close up
Again another shot used to break up the main story line and focus on
the band. It is also used to show to show the different types of music videos
used such as performance videos and narrative based video.
Seventeenth shot
Close-up
Shot of me unconscious, highlights the new state and new environment
my character ends up it.
Eighteenth shot
Long shot
The same shot as the fifth shot, but the reverse effect is used to
challenge the time frame, rather than having all my shots running in order
the reverse scenes indicate that the video contains a flashback.
Nineteenth shot
Wide shot/weather shot
Same as the third shot and like the eighteenth shot, it is also used
to challenge the typical time frame; it essentially continues showing the
flashback within the music video.
Twentieth shot
Close up
It shows the character waking up in the new environment, almost like
the character has recovered from a coma.
Twenty-first shot
Worms eye view
Showing the character risking his life from a high setting, it is showing
the, it is clear he is contemplating suicide as there was the conventional
high building being used.
Twenty second shot
Close-up
It shows the character waking up from his state, it indicates that he
maybe jumped and he has recovered from it.
Twenty Third shot
He wakes up in the classroom; this indicates that the whole video is
a dream.
A narrative based video is a video that is solely based on the narrative and not the performance or shots used within the video, this type of music video is often used in songs from films and contain scenes used from the film. an example of a narrative based music video is "It Will Rain" from Bruno Mars, this is a music video from twilight and it contains scenes from twilight.
Performance Based Videos
Performance based videos contains the artist/band performing to the camera, the aim of the video is to focus on the artist and portray them in a particular way, performance based videos can include recording an artist as they perform live with the aim of promoting the artist in manner that is not captured in the recording, such as capturing the energy and enthusiasm of live fans.
an example of a
performance based video is "Walk this way" by RUN-DMC. .at the very start of the music video you can see the band on stage ready to perform to the audience , so right from the very start the artist wants the audience to focus on the band and nothing else, they are also clarifying that the music video is performance based from the very beginning.
Concept based videos
Concept based music videos, concept based videos are often unusual as they don't always relate to one concept Another example of a concept based music video could be Tinnie Tempah's music video for his rap song 'Pass Out' which was released in the year 2010. This music video can be classified as a concept based video as the choreography, song title and setting of this music video do not relate to the theme of 'Passing Out', the concept of this videos is partying to the point that you pass out as an oppose to passing out from perhaps getting attacked etc.
