Research: Andrew Goodwin's main points/examples of amplification, disjuncture and illustration Analysis

From what Andrew Goodwin has said he thinks that narrative analysis don’t happen regularly in pop videos and therefore sometimes make it different to other genres. Pop videos are mainly 3 minutes long and rely on a lot of repetition in their videos; it builds to a climax before fading away, he also feels that women are treated as sex objects in pop videos too. There are three types of relation between a pop video and songs are illustration, amplification and disjuncture. Videos try to appeal to a wider audience as possible and are easily recognized by their features.


Michael Jackson Billy Jean shows illustration because his dance expresses the feeling/mood for Billy Jean the name of the song.


Where’s your head at shows amplification because of the idea that your head is changing to a monkey.


Michael Jackson Man in the mirror shows disjuncture because there is a little connection between the lyric and video or where the video contradicts the lyric.
