Research: Examples of Illustration, Amplification & Disjuncture.

Music videos can be defined into three categories:



The music video to this song, at many points throughout shows an illustration of the lyrics. The lyrics "You said i must eat so many lemons" Is illustrated by the artist eating and surrounded by eaten lemons.

Amplification: Village People-YMCA

The lyrics if this song are clearly amplified through dance - the participants all move themselves in the shapes of the letters 'YMCA'  when they're heard, all of the participants join in when 'YMCA' is said.

Disjuncture: Paramore-Ignorance



There is no clear relationship between the lyrics and the video. The entire band are squeezed in a room performing and are performing on stage. If anything this collective scene is a contradiction of the title 'Ignornace'
