Andrew Goodwin Theory

Andrew Goodwin identified the important key features in a music video. These are:



- A relationship between the lyrics and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics

- A relationship between the music and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics

- The music video is constructed by the link between the visuals, song and the artist

- Close up of the artists to give them the publicity that they want

- Voyeurism is used to increase the attractiveness of the video especially in men when the video is trying to be humorous

- Intertextual references to other media texts may be present to provide further gratification and pleasure for the viewers
