Alex Goodwin wrote a book on the rise of MTV in 1992, he identifies a number of key features which distinguish nusic video as a form;
1. Music video demonstrate genre characteristics?
2. Is there a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals?
3. Is there a relationship between the music and the visuals?
4. The demands of the record label - including the need of close-ups of the artist, and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work?
5. There is frequently reference to the notion of looking?
6. The use of inter-textual references?
7. Icongraphy developed by the artist might become part of their image?
I believe that in the three videos below that i have analysed, i have looked at all 7 points and have written and considered about what i belive is there and what is not there.
