1) The music video ‘Burning beaches’ agrees with the first point of Andrew Goodwin point, the first fact shows a lot of features in urban music. For example set in urban locations where it’s on the street or in big houses set in urban locations. The main guy is a black male which is often seen in urban music compared to white males.
2. There is defiantly a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. The images show this because the lighting is dark all throughout the video and that gives it a dull mood. ‘This fighting beneath the stars’ this is used while he is with the girl.
3. The music video gives us an insight as in the video is dark all throughout and gives it a dull and mood to it, this is due to the colour of the lighting and visuals that were used.
4. At the start of the music video there is a close up of the main guy in the music video but throughout the music video there isn’t many close up of the charter. During the video there is close ups of the actors in the video and also of objects in the music video not of the main character. The over the shoulder shot gets used a lot. These are close ups as they are just showing from the shoulder up on majority of the shots.
5. The start of the music video the man looks at the female for a second as he can’t look at her in the eyes, then it goes to the female but we don’t see her body we see her eyes in the mirror and this shows particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
6. I don't believe there is any obvious intertexual references as I believe the director has done this so the music video is unique to that song and artist this means it is more likely to be remembered for that music not it being linked to another one or similar to another one.
