GOODWIN'S FEATURES.

Throughout the filming of our music video, we analysed the lyrics of our

chosen song. In the song we realised it did not have many lyrics and was

mainly a beat performed song which meant that we chose to not link the lyrics

and the visuals as we wanted the visuals to create a story instead ( conventions

of a indie music video) but by linking it to the lyrics we couldn‟t do that.

However there is one part of the song where our character hits his alarm

clock which relates the lyrics “and if you cant stop time, you're not a friend of

mine” also relating to the story of the visuals of our character having no

friends. I feel that this illustrates our relationship between the lyrics and

visuals but also disjuncture's it at the same time.

LYRICS AND VISUALS

“We feel super high/fine every

second, every minute, every day.

And if you can't stop time, you're

not a friend of mine.”

I felt that our music video‟s music and visuals were amplified, as our song

choice was a very upbeat song it was easy to link the visuals with the beat of

it. We used snappy chop shots which changed in sync with when the music

beat changed which I feel made the music video more engaging and

interesting to watch.

MUSIC AND VISUALS

During the filming of our A2 production of a music video, we decided that

we wanted our genre to be indie/alternative in our music video this can be

shown through the style of our character e.g. he wears skinny jeans, a

snapback hat, camouflage jacket and a pair of vans trainers. Relating to the

style of various indie/alternative performers such as Arctic monkeys and Alt-J.

STYLE AND ICONOGRAPHY

• Throughout our media productions there is many intertextual

references, for example the first one would be the new release film „TED‟

and also „winnie the pooh‟

• Another intertextual reference that is shown is Rihanna, During the music

video Dylan is wearing a Rihanna t-shirt.

INTERTEXTUAL REFERENCES

In our music video we chose to not include any aspects of voyeurism, as we

felt as a group that voyeurism didn‟t fit in with the indie/alternative genre that

we chose to do, The lyrics or The music (beat of the song) in our heads we

had an idea of what visuals we wanted and voyeurism wasn‟t included.
