The Wombats- Moving to New York



Genre Characteristics- Indie Rock/Pop Punk. Tempo's, chords and loud guitars mixed with pop melody, very diverse.

Relationship between lyrics and visuals? Yes. References to lack of sleep, lyrics tell a narrative, all merges.

Relationship between music and visuals? Yes. Music dictates the pace of editing, dances, facial expressions, body language etc. All seems to be very faced paced like the life style of living in New York- reference to name of the song etc.

Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs? Few CU's. When band is playing, CU's on lead singer throughout.

Reference to the notion of looking? Lead singer is easy on the eye but no direct reference to the notion of looking.

IS the video category amplification, disjuncture or illustration? Mainly amplification, lead singer is in the narrative telling/acting the story within the lyrics, whilst band are playing and shown throughout the video.
