Illustration
Illustration in terms of music video's is a key feature identified by Andrew Goodwin when a music video’s visuals are used to represent the lyrics or message of the song. Illustrating a music video exemplifies to the audience what the song is really about. Illustration is often the most commonly used method of linking lyrics with visuals in music videos as it is the most basic and ensures the meaning of the song is not missed through a distracting music video. An example of how illustration can be used within music videos to represent lyrics can be found in the song “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem ft. Rihanna. He uses illustration in many of his videos as his lyrics are often very narrative driven, therefore they need consistent visuals.
