Andrew Goodwin's ideology on music videos (relations of visuals to song)

Music videos can use a set of images to illustrate the meaning of lyrics and genre, this is the most common.
This similar to repeat-ability. Meanings and effects are manipulated and constantly shown through the video and drummed into our vision.

This is where the meaning of the song is completely ignored.
There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals; either illustrative, amplifying or contradicting.





This video is illustrative of the lyrics as the mise en scene of the video was parallel with lyrics. The song is about loosing some one you are in love with, which is quite sad ans distressing, the video is in black and white which conveys depression, there wasn't any major movement of the camera which showed how dull and lifeless her life has become and she is also wearing wearing black symbolises loss.

This is an example of a video that amplifies the meaning of the lyrics. The song is very positive, this is shown in the video by the use of bright colours and the props that were used.

This is an example of a video that the video contradicts the lyrics. This is purely because there is no correlation between the lyrics and the video.
