Dancing to Distraction (1992) Theories of Music Videos

1. Music Videos Desmonstarte genre characteristics:
Stage performance in metal video
Dance routine for boy/girl band

2. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
Illustrative
Ampliflying
Contradicting

3. There is a relationship between music and visuals
Illustrative
Amplifying
Contradicting

4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lot of close-ups of the artist:
the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work visual style.

5. There is frequently reference to the notion of looking:
Screens within screens, telescopes etc.
A particular voyeuistic treatment of the female body.

6. There is often intertextual reference:
To films,
TV programmes, other music videos, etc.

Crazy video applying to this theory:

1. The genre characteristics in this video show a typical stage performance from a metal band.

2. The relationship between the lyrics and visuals is shown through the filming of when the lead character Alicia Silverstone escapes from school and the music is timed to "I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy You turn it on Then you're gone Yeah you drive me Crazy, crazy, crazy, for you baby What can I do, honey I feel like the color blue" as the two girls are in the car driving off and singing. Showing that they are "going crazy" and rebelling from actualyl going to school like they are ment to.

3. There is realtionship throughout the song bewteen music and visuals epescially during hand movments and stances during the performance scenes. One moment that really stands out to me would be just as Alicia is jumping into the car and the music is in time with her as if it were moving along with the action.

4. The majority of the video is more story based but during the performance parts the majority of fimling is close ups of the band members and steven tyler.
