According to Andrew Goodwin's book, there are several key features that distinguish a successful music video, including a strong relationship between the lyrics and visuals, distinctive styles and imagery for different genres, and frequent close-ups of the main artist. The document discusses how these points are important to consider when creating a music video, as the author and their group plan to incorporate these elements based on their genre of music.

1. In Andrew Goodwin’s book ‘Dancing in the distraction factory’ a
number of key features are pointed out that distinguish a music video:
In his book his state’s that he believes:
•There is a strong relationship between lyrics and visuals.
•Different genres will have their own music video style and iconography.
•Record companies demand that there are a lot of close ups on the main
artist.
•Most likely to be a reference to voyeurism, particularity in the
treatment of women.
•There are likely to be intertextual references, either to other music
videos or to films and TV text.
As these points are considered to be important I and my group will try
to incorporate these based on our genre of music.
