How my research will reflect in my music video


From Andrew Goodwin's theory:

  • I think that i will not be using my music video establish a link between the video and the lyrics
  • One think i hope to use in my music video is definitely "thought beats"
  • I don't think that iconography will be a big thing in my music video, however i hope that it will be very genre-related
  • I will hope to create a start image for the whole band however i think that i will end up using the stereotypical "focus on the main vocalist"
  • I will definitely not use voyeurism in my music video
  • And lastly my music video will not include intertextual references.

My reasoning:


  • I don't think that my chosen song "Tommy Gun" has any particular meaning in its lyrics that i want to focus on or enphasise in my music video. Therefore i don't think that there is any need for me to establish a relationship between the video and the lyrics.

  • "Tommy Gun" has strong beats that i hope i can capture and incorporate in the music video in order to bring some life on make it watchable as it adds a certain feeling to the music video which makes it more attractive to the audience.

  • As Sleeping Serenity is not a majorly known band yet, i don't find that iconography is really needed at this stage in terms of the band. However as this is a Rock band i hope to take typical genre-related features and incorporate them into my music video.

  • Star image will not be my main focus as i think that their star image will build itself with their popularity. However i will hope to focus at least a little bit on each band member to give them their own "spotlight moment".

  • In my music video voyeurism will absolutely not be used. Firstly because from my research into Railton and Watson's theory, voyeurism is mostly used in pop artists and females become sexual objects. And secondly, athough some Rock bands will occasionally use voyeurism, my reasearch into the Rock genre shows that Rock music/bands will dedicate their music video to the song itself and not just include certain things such as "a sexual object" in order to attract a different audience. I want to make my music video purely about just the Rock genre and the band.

  • Lastly, there is no necessity in my music video for thre to be intertextual references. The song does not reference to any other media text to my knowledge and therefor i see no need to include some reference which is not in the song itself.
