Music Video Analysis: The Cave

Satisfactory Essays
Open Document

The Cave follows typical Indie genre convention, but also defies it slightly. I used Goodwin’s theory to help make my music video, and I have used the theory as the main structure for my work. To create a lyric and visual link, I have referenced the lyrics in the song to visual elements in the music video, for example I have shown the lyrics on pieces of paper. Links to the lyrics are used in other music videos such as ‘Uma Thurman’ by Fall Out Boy, where you see the lyrics appear on the screen but are still in the narrative of the video. Lip synching also adds to the links between the lyrics and the visual aspects, and they are a key part of most music videos, especially indie ones where the video is more about the music than selling records.
