Music Video Analysis.

For the second video of the lesson we analysed, we once again applied Goodwin's Theory to our analysis, looking at relationships between lyrics, music and visuals.





Genre characteristics
- pop with a british feel


Lyrics and visuals
- 'start over again' at end when the boy comes back home
- "take me away" when carton gets on motorbike
- talking about going to countryside and they are in the countryside
- 'Coffee and TV', obvious link, making coffee with milk and its a milk carton.


Music and visuals
- music gets darker and so does the image
- song mellow and the videos cut slowly
- images of little carton


Notion of looking and voyeurism
- carton looking through window at band
- looking through door at the girl
- seeing face on milk carton


Intertextual references
- when carton fell through window bit like an action film
- in alley - green monster looks like its from a sci-fi film
- a bit like american beauty when family are sitting at the table
