'Dancing in the distraction factory'
Illustration
Lyrics- images illustrate the literal meaning or feeling of the lyrics, often just with the band singing and dancing
Band image- The band area, band singing, dancing, playing instruments. Dress as would be expected
Amplification
Music- film cuts on the beat but also off to emphasise features
Lyrics- images amplify the lyrics, a specific narrative may be used that would not necessarily be picked up from reading the lyircs alone
Band image- The band take on fictional roles in the narrative.
Disjuncture
Music- Film cuts of the beat- sometimes ( but not always) the sign of a badly made music video
Lyrics- Images which do not relate to the lyircs uses, sometimes used by bands who are already very well established who can afford to take risks
Band image- The band take on an image that is nothing like or the complete opposite of their expected image E.g lead singer of Texas dresses as Elvis
Example- 'Daft Punk - Da Funk'
- Beat changes
- More like a trailer
- No lyrics
- No rhythm
