We thought that Slipknots music video Psychosocial would be an interesting video to analysise as many of its goodwin points are similar to our video idea.
The lyrics match the visuals as they are trapped in a room and trying to get out which is matched by the lyric: "I did my time and I want out, so abusive."
The music matches the visuals as it is very jumpy and schreechy through a guitar while the visuals are edited in a fast pace and special effects are used to create a whirlwind effect.
There is a lot of intertextuality as the logo of the record label is shown by the band many times in the form of a burning sign, while there are references to a battle between Jesus and the devil which shows their satanic background.
The genre characteristcs are very representative as the many shots of the artist "rocking" and satanic symbols and burning are very typical of the genre.
Voyeurism is shown through the camera/audience being the victim of the bands games.
