Goodwin's theory applied to my video
Genre-related style and iconography present. With every music video the audience can usually tell what genre it is by the clothes that the artist are wearing, another way that the audience can tell is by the music itself. With this music video audience can tell that the genre of this music video is rap.
A relationship between the lyrics and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics. In almost all music videos it is important that the song relates back to the video, in the lyrics of i need you, the lyrics directly come back to the video talking about the girl and goes into a memory.

A relationship between the music and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the music. The sound of the song and the effect is has on the listener should definitely be reflected in music videos. For instance a fast paced song should have a fast cutting rate and a slower song should have the opposite effect. An example of this is in the chorus of my video when the singer is on the phone and then it goes to a slow transition of the girl on the phone as well.
Multiple close-ups of the main artist or vocalist. With most music videos there tends to be a lot of close ups of the artists, in my music video there are multiple close ups of the artist and the singer through out the video.
Voyeurism often plays a major part, especially in relation to females. In most rap videos women are usually represented sexually in videos the girls either half naked and are used as sexual references, in my music video this is not used, because of the fact the female present is missed in the video.
Intertextual references to other media texts may be present. However in my music video I believe that there are known, because I did not think to put any reference to another song or object that relates to another artist or the artist himself, even though we had put a short piece of another song which belongs to the artist it does not show media text.
As Goodwin stated that in all music videos the majority of the factors can be found, my music video is a perfect example of that, having the majority of the factors with a few missing.

The BBFC
The British board of film classification also known as the BBFC is a highly expert and experienced regulator of the moving image (especially film, video/DVD and video games), and also a service provider for new and developing media.Through the efficient classification of the moving image into advisory and age-related categories, the provision of consumer advice and the maintenance of their archives.The BBFC give the public information that empowers them to make appropriate viewing decisions for themselves and those in their care. We help to protect vulnerable viewers and society from the effects of viewing potentially harmful or unsuitable content while respecting adult freedom of choice.
the universal label shows that all ages can watch the films with this label on it, there is nothing unsuitable for children.
This label is similar to the universal guidance label, but just some scenes of films may not be appropriate for children under eight.
Nobody younger than 12 can rent or buy a 12-rated DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game. Films in this category may include infrequent drugs, infrequent use of strong language, brief nudity, discreet sexual activity, and moderate violence.
Nobody younger than 15 can rent or buy a 15-rated DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong words, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.
Nobody younger than 18 can rent or buy an 18-rated DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category do not have limitation on the bad language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and strong violence/sex references along with non-detailed sex activity is also allowed.
The reason for giving information on the BBFC is because they play a major part in the media world. In 1988, Trading Standards Officers were given the power to seize illegal video works. More recently this has included DVDs, Blu-rays and video games. The BBFC can provide evidence to help Local Authority Trading Standards Officers and the Police secure convictions under the terms of the Video Recordings Act (VRA) 1984.
Also in the music industry if the music video is scene as violent then normal,sexual or nudity, the music channels broadcast the videos at a later night. With my video I believe that the certificate my video will be placed under would be a universal, because there is no scenes of violence or sexual nature, and nothing to upset children who would want to watch music videos.

Goodwin's theory on music analysis
Goodwin has identified a number of key features that are in music videos.
the features include:
- A relationship between the lyrics and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics.
- A relationship between the music and the visuals, with the visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the music.
- Genre-related style and iconography present.
- Multiple close-ups of the main artist or vocalist.
- Voyeurism often plays a major part, especially in relation to females.
- Intertextual references to other media texts may be present.
Goodwin says that music videos are often constructed by the link between the visuals and the music plus the artist. Relationships are built between these in the video, and the close-ups of the artists give them the representation and publicity they require. Voyeurism is used to increase the video’s attractiveness, particularly to male audience, whilst intertextuality is often used in humorous videos.
Most of these features are present in all music videos, depending on the genre of the song and the aim of the record company or artist.
