Page 2: Analysing a music video using Narrative Theory

What happens in the video-is it illustration, amplification or disjuncture?

This video is illustration because the images link match the song lyrics and meaning of the song.

The song links because when he say ‘going down going down’ the singer show with his hand going down in the distraction of it going down to show the link between the song and the lyrics. The song had other links with in it to link to the lyrics.

The singer so had a past when the singer say ‘you got a number I can call up’. The singer makes a phone sign with his hand near his face to show the link and how she be waiting for a call.

Another part where the lyrics and video link is where the singer say ‘Show me where the sea is, I'll be in the deep end, Ha~! Your beauty got me sinkin’ then the singer say that then you say he talk to the woman in the pool that he next to.

Describe the structure of the video- is it open, close or circular?This song is a circular song because it start at the when

they all waking up from the party the night before and thought the song when they start singing then they show thought the song how they all got there.

The song start when they all sleep form the night before and then it beat kicks in and they start to sing when there in the day time again and when go back to night time to show how they all ended like that. So it goes on like that when you watch the video so then the audience know what happens then then finished watching it.

Analyse the video using Levi-Strauss’ theory- can you identify the binary opposites?In this video clip I think the opposites are the

day and night when then at the start is early morning and then goes more later in the day then its goes to night. As the song go on the start early morning then finish the day in the night. Soshow how they go there.

Analyse the video using Barthes’ narrative codes can you identify any of these codes?In this video I think that the code is action

code because people know its a party because they can see the drinks and how everyone is at the start of the video. So people would know that they just finished that party never late.
