Analysis of a Music Video
Artiste: Chase & Status & Track name: Time
How are Genre characteristics used/subverted?
The Genre is electronic and dub step, the characteristics are the use of break beats, and the use of vocals leading up to a huge beat.
What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
The lyrics are associated between the visuals; the lyrics match what’s going on in the video when she is singing about her family.
What is the relationship between music and visuals?
When the music starts to dip and go quiet, the visual is the dad hitting the mum, which shows the relationship. The music also quickens when the dad is pushing the mum, it increases and then the mum falls down the stairs just as it slows down.
Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
Yes, close ups of all the family, especially the daughter; you never see the producer’s chase and status in the music videos, which relates to their other music videos.
Is there reference to the notion of looking? Where?
Are there intertextual references?
Is it performance-based, narrative-based or concept-based? How much of each?
The video is narrative-based, it’s about a girl whose dad is an alcoholic and beats her mother, she sings about her helplessness, and so the video is narrative based as chase and status are getting a point across about domestic abuse and alcoholism.
