Research Post 4 : Andrew Goodwin's Theory

Hey,



Illustration


"Weird Al" Yankovic - White & Nerdy

 'White & Nerdy' is a parady of 'Ridin' by Chamillionarit ft. Krayzie Bone, the main base tracks of the singer(/Rapper) have almost an identical mise-en scene with the exception of the original artist. While the rest of the video follows the changed lyrics, giving a almost exact visual reproduction of what is being said.

Amplification


Ed Sheeran - 'Think out Loud' Official Video

This video follows the main forms of Amplification by having relevance to the lyrics while adding more to the meaning and visuals of the video. They do this by representing the emotions that Ed Sheeran was talking about in his lyrics through dance, adding performance to the video. I like how this works by remaining true to the emotions and the words while the idea of the video is quiet simple, but has a very powerful visual impact.

Disjuncture


The Prodigy- Warrior's dance (uncut)

This video is really quite strange and doesn't seem to have any connection to the lyrics making it a part of Andrew Goodwin's Disjuncture analysis. Although the song hasn't got a many lyrics and sounds more like it would be used as a soundtrack for a film/or TV show. I think the animation reflects this by telling a story entirely through visuals, without the need for any dialogue.
