We will explore Vance Joys videos' Riptide and Georgia.
We will explore :
Economical Contexts
Funding: Riptide low budget small Atlantic records label, first single to be released in USA
Georgia- larger budget , special effects influences visual style
Consider how the combination of elements of the ML influences meaning
Montage style in Riptide is used to convey meaning and Intertexuality
wide range of contrasting and juxtaposing shots used from seemingly disparate new and found footage.
Challenges typical codes and conventions of narrative
Cuts link to the lyrics coherence of narrative through links between symbolic and linguistic codes
Influences surrealist and avant-garde cinema ( such as luis Bunuel)
Subversion of video conventions
to confer uniqueness or enigma ( Barth)
Semiotics
signs signifiers signified
Lyric: ' Oh all my friends are turning green'
( green linked to money and greed and envy)
Cinematic features of films:
opening shot ,
billing ( credit block),
C and Cs of genres such as Westerns,
Horror iconography
film references
Steve Neale - Genres are dominated by repetition
Does Riptide challenge this or embrace it?
what function does the video play for a band
how are the band represented?
