Goodwin's music video analysis

Pre-analysis of our view of the video.

1. The generical characterists are that of a performance-based video, with no real storyline. We think the creation of a small story is not necessary and the song best fits with our ideas of subtle movements down a minimal-lit alley to begin with following onto more "crazier" dance moves when with a microphone.

2/3. We make connections to the lyrics by pictoral visuals: the song makes frequent references to speakers and music with the artist shouting "turn it up" so we film us with amps. The song progresses to a rocky chorus therefore we think we should keep the mental image of chicks singing through mics and swinging their hair by actually carrying out these actions. We havnt gone for something that is totally different to what we think our song would suit: ie. a video at a sunny beach!

4. Close ups are a great way of providing a mixture of specific effective shots from a close perspective thus allowing the viewer to zoom in to the beauty (ha yes!) of the artists singing. They will look good in contrast to the long and medium shots of us walking down the alley and us stood with the microphone.

5. We make consistant references to the notion of looking not only when miming but also in cut shots: artists leaning against a wall with close up of faces, extreme close up of eyes with extended eyelashes etc.

6. We make intertextual references to numerous music videos, imparticular Robots in Disguise themselves taking parts from their own videos. I'm sure we can steal something from films as well!!
