MUSIC VIDEO-THEORIES

Goodwins theory: 

 Analyses conventions of music videos suggesting that genre conventions, lyrics and visuals, music, close ups, motifs and intertextual references are all key elements of music videos.

Richard dyers theory:

Stars are constructed images represented across media texts. However many stars are relatable to audiences , making videos they appear in more relatable.

The Man:

Richard Dyer:

The man in the video includes many stereotypical scenarios. One being a man on the train , man spreading and smoking, making women feel uncomfortable. This therefore makes the video relatable for many viewers who are likely to have experienced this.

Goodwin: 

There are many intertextual references used throughout the video. One being the poster of a scooter crossed out. This is a direct reference to Scooter Braun who wouldn't let Taylor swift own her masters.
