1. Genre Characteristics- its genre is a rock song and it shot in a typical rock song way as it was shot almost as a performance, it also keeps the rock genre all the way through the video with the use of a topless devil and that they main singers are trouble makers. But they do not physically look like rock stars so goes against some of the conventions of the rock genre.
2. Relationship between Lyrics and Visuals- The video illustrates the story and the lyrics tells the story.
3. Relationship between Music and Visuals-
4. Demand of the Record Label and the need for Close ups on the Artist- There aren't many close ups on the artist, but there is a lot of exposure of them so this could suggest they need a lot more publicity than a more established band. Their record lable Epic Records and Sony wouldnt have put much pressure on Tenacious D because of the type of band and people they are.
5. Notion of looking and Voyeuristic treatment of the female body- There is no reference to woman apart from the little old lady being the evil one. Also referring to the notion of looking, throughout the video it looks like you are looking through the screen at the singers.
6. Intertextual reference- Ben Stiller features in this video and looking at a few other Tenacious D music video's he is often featured, there is also another famous person in the video Dave Grohl, who is also involved with Tenacious D
Although the work on here is of a very good standard, there isn't quite enough of it! Make sure you don't get behind on the tasks being set but also keep up the standard you have set yourself.
