Goodwin Six Rules

1. Music video demonstrate genre characteristics.

2. There is relationship between lyrics and visuals.

3. There is a relationship between music and visuals.

4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close-ups of the artist and the artist may develop motif which recur across their work (a visual style).

5. There is frequently reference to notion of looking and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.

6. There is often intertextuality reference.


In my music video i will be using numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. number 1 is filming in a way that shows genre characteristics. in my narrative and performance video, you will able to see a clear narrative through the story line of broken love that runs throughout the sequence. number 2 is the link between lyrics and visuals. therefore I will use this in parts for example when the line, "look into the sky". I will have a motif of the framing being the shot of the sky getting darker until we have the night sky following into the line "got shooting stars". number 3 is similar to number 2, it is based on the relationship between the music and the visuals, therefore with the music having a slow tempo, my video will have to match that tempo, therefore the scenes will have a slow pace and the action in the frames will not be fast and pacey. Number 4 will be used in the motif of the recusance of the shooting stars and looking into the sky. This essential to dreamy likeness of the song and its lyrics.

My Chosen Song

i have chosen a song written and composed by a unsigned artist called Olly Hite. he is a solo artist and he specializes in acoustic style of music. his slow passed style is the type of song that intended's to touch the viewer in some form. here are his lyrics for the song.....

Shooting Stars:

Love made me high
love made me low
love made me scared
love made me grow
love made me grow

Love made me right
love made me wrong
love took me there
love wrote this song
love wrote this song

Look into the sky
got shooting stars
finding out just who are
before we go and share are hearts
soon we will move to Mars
got shooting stars
speechless not lost for words

Love took me there
love brought me back
so unaware
yeah that's a fact
yeah that's a fact

Love made me high
love made low
love me scared
love made me glow
love made me glow

Look into the sky
got shooting stars
finding out just who we are
before we go and share are hearts
soon we will move to Mars
got shooting stars
speechless not lost for words
