Goodwin theory application - 'Beastie Boys' by https://padlet.com/daniellomax66/uko91fyoyvv en-us 2018-02-21 20:27:27 UTC 2018-02-21 20:32:02 UTC hello@padlet.com daniellomax66 https://padlet.com/daniellomax66/uko91fyoyvv/wish/233980040 To review Goodwin's genre theory, I am going to apply it to "Beastie Boys- Sabotage" and a second music video in a separate post. Firstly, I will state a list of every convention this video uses, and how it does so.]]> 2018-02-21 20:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellomax66/uko91fyoyvv/wish/233980040 Support daniellomax66 https://padlet.com/daniellomax66/uko91fyoyvv/wish/233980232
  • Despite being in costume, the artists can still be seen, and importantly recognised, in many shots throughout the video. Most notably at 0:37, 1:38 and 2:52
  • Based on 70's police shows, this music video does clearly have a sense of intertextual references, although none are stated/seen explicitly. A series that seems to be alluded here is "The streets of San Francisco". This can be seen throughout the music video.
  • The lyrics of the song are not succinct to the video, but the semantic field and discourse of the lyric relate to the police and detectives in the video. The mentions of "Watergate" and "Sabotages" do relate to the police and detectives, so I think it is fair to state that the music video conveys this convention.
  • The fast paced editing coordinates with the tempo of the song, and the shot cuts between beats make this convention applicable to this video. This particularly evident at the start of the video.

    • No voyeuristic treatment of women. There is an underlying notion of looking, through intertextuality and the concept of the music video being similar to a 70's police show. Overall however, I would argue this is not supported enough throughout.
    • Unlike other Beastie Boys music videos, this has less demonstrations of genre characteristics, especially for a rap video.
