Andrew
Goodwin believes that music videos are different to other media forms due to
the way they are…
1. Structured
2. The way they visualise the lyrics of
the song & organise this into 1 of 3 narrative “types”
The music
video ‘Numbers in Action’ by the rapper Wiley fits in perfectly with the
“structure” that Goodwin talks of. This structure is:
-
Verse/chorus
-
Lots
of repetition
-
Images/shots
-
And
the beat
Goodwin also
talks of illustration, amplification and disjunctive.
Illustration
- The visual images support the lyrics of the song
Amplification
- The visual images support the lyrics of the song and adds new layers of
meaning
Disjunctive –
The visual images contradict the lyrics of the song, there is little connection
between the video and the lyrics.
The video above by Wiley is an amplification.
