This week I have chosen the song "Goodbye Mr. A" by the English pop-rock band the Hoosiers...
It starts off with an animation segment to the video which starts off the comic-book theme because it is in that style. The main reason I like this video is the use of intertextuality because it has a comic book link throughout. This is created mainly through the use of mise en scene with the bright primary colours used, the location being in lair, the use of stereotypical superhero costumes again highlights the intertextuality. This is done because it could encourage a new audience for the band who son't usually like pop rock but are fans of the super hero comic genre and thus increasing their consumer basis. I also like the use of the medium close-up, quite often the medium close-up is used to add the the artists star image (Andrew Goodwin) and in this video the crazy almost psychopathic facial expressions of the lead singer not only add to his star image of being a bit crazy, and endearing, but adds to the narrative because it shows how much hatred he had for Mr. A. Examples of other media formsare evident in the video including newspapers, video games and T.V, this would appeal to the audience because even though it's quite an unrealistic concept, it still has elements of reality too.
