1.Look at how Goodwin’s theory applies to Dizzee Rascal’s Dream (supporting points with
screenshots)














  • This screenshot is linked to the visuals as police brutality is prominent against black youths involved in gangs.
  • Illustrate, music videos use certain images & shots to illustrate/explain the meaning of lyrics to their song and the genre. Disjuncture. Is this situation , the meaning of the song is completely ignored in the music video. Amplify repeat ability- This is when the images and camera shots are manipulated and shown repeatedly through out the music video and is drummed into our vision. Relation between the music and visuals
  • Relation between the music and visuals Andrew believed that a music video can promote a song by though the way it analysis the lyrics. This is shown in many music videos when a character does exactly what the song says.
  • Narrative and performance of the song Andrew Goodwin believed that it was important for an artist to be involved in the music video by performing or acting out a role as the main character or singer. It helps to make the song look more realistic and also giving the audience a special connecting and good understanding of the song.
  • Star Image (protagonist), lots of camera shots making him/her the centre of attention. Goodwin referred to the star image a as a very vital aspect of a music video, they making the music video look more appealing to the audiences and bring a unique style to the video in the way he is portrayed. The start image is always very unique in the way he presents himself, the costume, moves and appearance. This help to promote the artist/star’s image in public and also helps to promote the video and helps to build a public reputation.
  • Technical aspect of a music video Andrew says that the technical aspect helps to hold the music video together through the use of Mise-en-Scene, Special effects sound and editing . Lightening and colour helps to set the mood for the music video and create emphasis on significant parts of the song to create a dramatic effect and thrill the audience. Mise-en-Scene is also very vital to the production of the music video, it can help the artist gain authentication and also make his work appear more professional. The beats of the song are also very useful as they can help to create effective cuts that go with the rhythm of the song to make the music video look more entertaining.

Riptide/ Steve Neale Theory

Task 1 Steve Neale’s theory of Repetition and Difference. Steve Neale states that genres all contain instances of repetition and difference, difference is essential to the to the economy of the genre. Neale states that the film and it’s genre is defined by two things: How much is conforms to its genre’s individual conventions and stereotypes. A film must match the genre’s conventions to be identified as part of that genre. How much a film subverts the genre’s conventions and stereotypes. The film must subvert convention enough to be considered unique and not just a clone of an existing film.

Therefore the cheery mise en scene presents a creepy and troubling binary opposition Horror film conventions - stereotypically attractive 'horror film victim' breaks free from being tied to a tree. Connotative of kidnapping and a violent threat. Contrapuntal imagery compared to the chirpy pop song Extremely postmodern video - use of distressing horror imagery deliberately positioning the audience in a confusing and distressing situation. Extremely strong link between lyrical content and on screen visuals - an explicit description, perhaps a binary opposition between a conventional and subversive music video On the word 'riptide' a L/S high angle establishing shot of the sea, connoting danger and death A montage of C/Us of everyday items establishes to the audience themes of travel and solidify the overarching theme of escapism Mixture...
