Example of Music Videos

Avicii - Hey Brother



In relation to Goodwin's theory 'Hey Brother' has a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. The song is about family and in the video we see a young boy with his 'brother' who by the end we see is really his father who goes off to fight in the war. The reason I enjoy this video is the narrative of it as it shows the close bond between the father and son. It is also a poignant video which gives the song emotion. Narrative videos are more common for DJ's as they don't have a recognizable band or front man.

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks



This video has an abstract narrative created through animation. The reason I love this music video so much is that it is very imaginative and unlike many other music videos. This video also has close ups of characters based on the band which corresponds to Goodwin's theory.

Paramore - Ain't It Fun




This Paramore video is made up of the band complete a selection of world records. The video doesn't exactly relate the the lyrics or contain a specific narrative however it still follows Goodwin's theory as it has many close ups of the band, mostly Hayley Williams who is the most recognizable within the group.
