Goodwin's Theory - Analysing Music Videos

Goodwin is a media theorist that came up with 8 elements that each music video should include. I wanted to find specific music videos that display his 8 elements quite well, nevertheless, every music video is different of course, so this means that each analysis of the 3 videos with be very different. I wanted to see if some of the most popular music videos involved Goodwin's theory in order to make them successful.

 

After researching Goodwin's theory and the music videos to go with it, I analysed each one with the theory in mind in order to learn how each artist can become so successful. The most interesting aspect in which I learnt and understood is how every music video falls under one of three styles; performance, concept and narrative. This will help me in the future of this course because when it comes to making my own music video, I now know to place it under one of these three categories which, in fact, will make it seem more interesting to the targeted audience and the public in general.
