My second music video I will be analysing is unbreakable by Westlife. The genre of the music is pop and adult contemporary. Pop music is a softer alternative to rock ‘n’ roll and later to rock music.
2. What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
In the video there aren’t many matches but the visual do kind of match but not with the lyrics.
Swept away on a wave of emotion. The visual for this is them sitting on the car and the waves going past the car.
And each time I look in your eyes. They have the two actors standing together and hugging and they look in to each others eyes.
This love is unbreakable, Through fire and flame, When all this is over, Our love still remains. The visual that they use for this the guy is in a car crash.
3. What is the relationship between music and visuals?
The video cuts to the beat because both the music and the visuals are slow. Solo instruments are illustrated by the video. The pace of the music doesn’t change so the video doesn’t change.
4. Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
There are lots of close ups of the artists on an old billboard and it would change between them and the actors. The actors aren’t well known. They are planning on selling the track by making sure that the audiences see the band. Most of the previous videos they use they have them singing to the camera. The video doesn’t change there image.
5. Is there reference to the notion of
looking?
The video shows a couple in love and kissing and hugging. The camerawork shows that the couple is in love. But they aren’t really shown in a sexual way.
6. Are there intertextual references?
They don’t relate to any other music videos.
7. Is the music video performance-based, narrative-based or concept-based?
Narrative based and performance based.
