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.
