This task has shown me that a music video can be analysed to great detail with the work of other theorists. By looking at the theories, you begin to notice that there are conventions and stereotypes of each genre. For example, in this Indie music video, you would expect to see the band performing the song. Andrew Goodwin identified this in his 'Genre characteristics' theory. I found that the videos which were personally engaging to me often could be compared to lot's of theory. When making my video, I will consider how interesting my narrative and performance is. While some video align with theories, it is clear that some cannot always be applied. In this video it is hard to identify Todorov's narrative theory and Propp Theory. Sometimes this can be effective, particularly if the videos 'go against the grain', with stereotypes such as gender roles flipped.
