Goodwin's Theory
Goodwin's Theory proposes that music videos should have links between lyrics and visuals, music and visuals, and exhibit genre characteristics. Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" video exemplifies several principles. It depicts Bieber's confusion with a girl's changing emotions through shifting visuals that match lyrics. As a pop song, it features an attractive woman, Bieber's performance and attractive bodies. The woman is initially portrayed as an object but gains agency, matching lyrics. Record labels demand Bieber maintain a sexy, perfect image to appeal to fans. The narrative is fragmented but moves the story along to engage viewers.

Research camera angles
This document discusses research into effective camera angles for horror trailers. It analyzes angles used in the trailers for films like Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Wide establishing shots are used to set the location and context. Medium shots of characters introduce them and show relationships. High angles suggest vulnerability while low angles make a location seem eerie. Shots like over-the-shoulder POV shots draw the audience in. Mysterious close-ups of objects pique curiosity. The document concludes with recommendations for camera angles to use in a horror trailer based on this research.
Character summary and costumes
Sofia is a young occult expert who wears muted colors to blend in and focus on her work. She explains to Nicola that the chaos symbol's curse kills anyone who reads it or shares their blood. The unnamed killer who enforces the curse wears all black to signify death and evil, covering their other clothes with a cloak. Extras were used as students and friends to populate the university setting and add diversity to the trailer in a natural way.
Narrative
The document discusses several narrative theorists and their perspectives on narratives. Tzvetan Todorov analyzed narratives as having an initial state of equilibrium that is disrupted, followed by an attempt to restore equilibrium. Vladimir Propp identified common character archetypes that drive plot development. Claude Levi-Strauss viewed narratives as expressing cultural myths and values through binary oppositions. Roland Barthes identified five codes that provide meaning in narratives, including codes that build mystery, tension, and symbolism.

Semiotics
This document provides an overview of semiotics and several key theorists in the field. [1] It defines semiotics as the study of signs and symbols and how they are used to communicate and develop interpretations. [2] It discusses Ferdinand de Saussure's distinction between the signifier (physical form of the sign) and signified (what it represents). [3] It also covers theorists Roland Barthes, Stuart Hall, and their contributions around how signs represent cultures/ideologies and how audiences interpret media messages.
Semiotics
The document discusses key concepts in semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. It explains that Ferdinand de Saussure distinguished between the signifier (physical form of the sign) and the signified (meaning represented). Roland Barthes focused on how signs represent cultures through denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (suggested cultural meanings). Stuart Hall theorized that media messages are encoded but audiences decode them based on their own backgrounds, and that meanings are relative rather than fixed.

What genre does song fall into
- 1. WHAT GENRE DOES YOUR CHOSEN SONG FALL INTO?Arfa Shah Candidate number: 4739
- 2. BACKGROUND ON GENRE Our chosen song "Stitches" by The Dykeenies falls under the indie/alternative rock genre. The Dykeenies are an indie/alternative rock band that originated in 2005 from Scotland. The indie rock genre is rock music that was conceived in the UK and USA in the 1980s. The genre is derived from earlier genres such as alternative rock, post-punk and new wave music. The term "indie" itself is slang for independent music meaning that most indie rock bands are signed to independent record labels rather than major record labels however this is not always the case. The Dykeenies are signed to the "King Tut’s" label which is relatively unknown compared to labels such as Columbia under which the indie rock band Kasabian are signed.
- 3. THE DYKEENIES- STITCHESThe song "Stitches" falls into the indie rock genre as the song is not mainstream however it has a significant fan base. Indie rock bands are known for having complete control over their music and careers- the song "Stitches" was written by the band which shows complete control over their music. The Dykeenies have taken influence from alternative rock and "Stitches" has many characteristics of alternative rock. For example, the song rejects commercialism of mainstream culture by making the music video very simple and not using any gimmicks to appeal to mainstream culture. "The New York Times" newspaper in the USA stated in 1989 that the alternative rock genre is "guitar music first of all, with guitars that blast out power chords, pick out chiming riffs, buzz with fuzz tone and squeal in feedback". The song "Stitches" starts off with an electric guitar and the use of the guitar continues as the main instrument in the song however the drum gives the song more rhythm and instead of the guitar giving the music elevated power, the strong vocals emphasise the lyrics with the help of the drums, bass and guitar.
- 4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SONG Another characteristic of the song is that it addresses issues that are relevant to society today for example the song touches upon the issues of confidence, dreams, facing your fears head on and the song may by an indirect reference to the pressures of schooling as the boy in the video is wearing a school uniform and runs out of the halls because he is too scared of what he has to do.
