Andrew Goodwin theory is being appiled to music videos. Andrew Goodwin belived that there was five main aspect when it comes to an music video; technical aspects of a music video, through beats, star imagine, narrative and perfoming and then relation of visual to songs. The one that my class and myself look into is the narrative and perfoming of a mucis video. Andrew himself said that 'Music video's are just extension of the lyrics', this is saying that the narrative shots within the music video should be represtation od the lyrics and showing the audience what the songs is about. Most songs consist of a mixture between narrrative and perfoming shots but in some case the peforming shots are part if the narravtive too; exmaple would be Katy Perry- think of you. There are three main different types of songs that apply to this theory songs that have no connection between the lyrics and the video, then there are songs that have some connections in which they are doing what they are singing and then the type who is singing and doing what they sing.
