Tenacious D // Tribute // Goodwin Analysis

The Tenacious D // Tribute video is two band members telling a story. The whole music video is inside this singing booth where they are performing their own song, but has cuts to clips that match the lyrics. An example of this is where the lyrics state "Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, // we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road." This is a convention of Goodwin's theory, as he states lyrics and visuals match together - and here shows this as they are walking down a "lonesome road". This occurs throughout the music video, with another example being a mention of a demon and then a demon appears in the road. The use of this makes the video act as a story, and we are able to follow them through this story.

The video also complies with Goodwin's theory as the video features two-shots of the band members. The camera is positioned where the screen in which they select of song was, thus making it the notion of looking as it appears we are watching them.

This is also a close-up of the band. Close-ups are important for a music video as it helps the audience see who they actually are, creating an identity, make the audience feel closer to the singer and most importantly, help sell the artists brand.

Throughout the entire video, the lyrics are matching up to the visuals, the use of notion of looking is present and the use of close-ups all support Goodwin's theory.
