GENRE RESEARCH: REAL MEDIA TEXTS (X3)

SIA- Breathe Me
Genre: Alternative/pop
GOODWINS THEORY:
Within this music video, the video does conform to some of Goodwin's theory. This is because within the music video, there is firstly a conformation of a demonstration of typical genre characteristics, as because the song has a depressing tone, the actions shown within the video are also typical characteristics towards that such as the female being lonely.
Another way in which this music video conforms to Goodwin's theory is how there is the notion of looking at the female body. This is because throughout the whole video, the female is the main character but the audience are shown her when getting dressed and shown her in the mirror getting ready to go outside/ doing her makeup.
Within this shot, it reflects the music video conforming to Goodwin's theoretic point that there is a reference to the notion of looking at the female body.



R3hab- Near Me
Genre: House/dance
GOODWINS THEORY:
This music video doesn't have many specific examples which are able to link to Goodwin's theory. Within this video there is slight relation between lyrics and visuals, when the girl is shown dancing, but not enough have a impact which would reflect it conforms to the theory. There is also a slight theme of the record label having certain demands, as in previous R3hab music videos (such as R3hab and Quentin -Freak), it reflects how they kind of work in a similar style such as starting the video off to be a night time, and within the video, having multiple short shots which are fast paced.
This shot shows the example of when the music video conforms to one of Goodwin's points that there are relations between lyrics and visuals as when the lyrics are "when the rain starts falling down', the girl is shown to be moving down into a kneeled position.



Blink 182- What's my age again?
Genre: Pop punk/ alternative rock
GOODWINS THEORY
Within this music video there is a relationship between the lyrics and visuals/actions. This is shown within the music video as they are shown to be singing about being childish and then throughout the video there are childish acts being represented. This video does although contradict Goodwin's theory on a large basis. This is because for one of the points within Goodwin's theory "there are frequent reference to the notion of looking and the voyujrisitic treatment of the female body'. This music video goes completely against this as the main characters within are 3 males who are reflected to be unclothed running through the streets and the camera is mostly aimed at them at all times. This reflects how this music video contradicts against Goodwin's theory as the audience have a notion of looking at the male body, not female.
This shot represents how in this music video Goodwin's theory is being contradicted as the audience have a notion of the male body instead of Goodwin's theory stating it is the females.
