DAVID GUETTA FT JUSTIN BIEBER - 2U (THE VICTORIA'S SECRET ANGELS LIP SYNC) - GOODWIN ANALYSIS.

For the GENRE CHARACTERISTICS, we can see that synthesisers are heavily used, a lot of slow motion effects are shown, there is very high and deliberate intensity of the pace of the shots, and the shot speed and music speed correspond, adapt and change. There is a lot of time to observe the girls / models figure and observe them dancing in front of the camera. This definitely engages the audience, as they can dance along with the artists and the performers on screen.

For the MUSIC & VISUALS, the camera is constantly moving, as well as the shots having to change from one style to another. Also, the shots tend to change at the beat of the song, which keep the audience engaged and as a part of the music video. The audience are able to stay hooked and involved with the music video, as the girls / models dancing bodies, style and tugging of their clothes, keep the audience entertained and in awe.

For the LYRICS & VISUALS, at 34 seconds, we can here Justin Bieber saying, "Let's stay closer"... The footage shows one of the Victoria secret models crossing both of her arms just above her chest and below her neck and making swaying movements, to represent closeness. Also, at 1 minute 24 seconds, the lyrics are, "Open up your mind"... The footage shows a model raising both of her hands up towards her forehead, and grabbing her head to give the impression that she is opening up her mind + making body movements. The lyrics and visuals in this music video are showed very quickly. The audience will be able to sing and dance along.

There is no INTERTEXTUALITY references that I could find.

In terms of VOYEURISM, this music video is absolutely infested with it. To be quite specific, the male gaze is 100% satisfied! Every single girl in this music video is semi naked, wearing very short, tight and fitted clothes, in order to attract attention to their ample assets, as well as accentuate their sexy figures and curves of their body. We see a lot of lingerie which mainly reveals how big their breasts are, a lot of crop tops which reveal their slim and toned bellies, and a lot of ripped jeans and knickers to attract attention to their long and smooth legs. We see constant close ups of breasts, bums, stomachs, and some legs. However, the close ups and big shots are mainly for the girls breasts, as that is what may sexually stimulate and pleasures the male audience the most. We also see a shaking / wiggling bum, as well as lots of dancing and body and hair touching. As mentioned previously, the male gaze is totally and 100% satisfied. The male audience love to look at the girls / models as an object, and always see the visualisation of the girls / models private areas and chunky parts of their bod, as means of sexual gratification. The male audience live to look at big breasts, fat and plump bums, smooth and long legs, and the entire sexy body of the girls / models, to attain full sexual pleasure.
This music video is completely PERFORMANCE BASED,due to the dancing and flicks of the hairs of the girls / models and there is absolutely no narrative to this music video.
