Deconstruction of oh no marina and the diamonds

- 2. Style -According to Goodwin’s theory this music video is a Hybrid. -Styles include a performance which is the lead singer (Marina) lip syncing to the track -It is also a narrative which means that the story of the song is being told through Marina performing and telling the story. The concept of the video stems from the lyrics of "Oh No!" which reference being obsessed with consumerism, success, money and fame.
- 3. Beginning -On beat editing is used almost instantly on the opening shot where Marina (lead singer) punches to the beat of the music which results in post-production editing of ‘POW’ in the style of a cartoon. This is also known as a relationship between music and visuals which is commonly used in all music videos according to Goodwin’s theory. -As the video progresses with punches and on beat editing the band title appears in the same ‘cartoon font’ this would be a demand from the record label to signify and develop the brand name. Again this is a common feature noted from Goodwin’s theory.
- 4. Matching lyrics to visuals is used a lot throughout the video in particular the beginning, this is a common trait used which has been noted as a generic feature in Goodwin’s theory. The lyrics at this point match as Marina sings ‘I’m only after success’ (above and below screenshots)
