Goodwins analysis of real music videos


Analysis of so sick

There is an immediate link between lyrics and visuals as he says 'phone' there is a close up of a phone, and the keys. There are also references to his pervious girlfriend where there are then close ups of her face or pictures of her. There are also lots of long and medium shots of neyo and the girl, out and about, doing things, or arguing, normal relationship stuff. There are a lot of genre characteristics used in the music video, there are lots of shots of him miming towards the camera which is a typical convention, there is also a lot of moments which show the artist and his relationship, and also a few parts where he dances, which is another important convention. Another important link to goodwins theory is voyeurism, there are lots of shots where its looking in on arguments or intimate moments in the bedroom etc. We couldn't think of any obvious inter-textual references however we think is would be something to do with the location.
