- There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
In class we were given a task to do to explore Goodwin's theory that there would be a relationship between lyrics and visuals. We were given a story boarding sheet and asked to listen to the song 'Here Goes The Fear' by Doves. We were then given the lyrics to the song and asked to storyboard what we thought the video would look like if we matched the lyrics to visuals. This is what I came up with in the short time we had:
We were then shown the actual video for the song and saw that although the video did not literally interpret the lyrics of the song (aka it did not amplify the lyrics), it subtley illustrated them using metaphorical imagery.
We see this when the man opens the door at 0:58 this represents the releasing of the fear, this also shows a relationship between music and visuals in this shot because just as the music gets loud the door springs open. This has shown me that lyrics do not have to literally be interpreted in the music video, and that there can just be subtle hints at them, making a music video that much more interesting.
