Goodwin's Theory of Analysis for Music Videos

Goodwin's Theory of Analysis for Music Videos

Andrew Goodwin's Theory of analysis for music videos can be applied to many different genres of music from pop to rock. Goodwin's theory follows 6 points which can be used when analysing music videos, the 6 points are; 
1) A relationship between the lyrics and the visuals , illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics.
2) A relationship between the music and the visuals with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics of the song.
3) Genre-related style and iconography present.
4) Star image, multiple close up shots of the main artist or the vocalist.
5) Voyeurism often plays a large part, especially in relation to females.
6)  Intersexual references to other media, texts maybe present.
