Inspirational music video

This music video is by Peter Gabriel for his song, Sledgehammer. It is stop animation which is the same process we're using to make our music video. The video includes Peter Gabriel's face, appearing as though he is having twitches and spasms. The use of the his face is an example of Andrew Goodwin's theory, how a music video should have many shots of the artist or band. In this case, the artist is shown in nearly every shot. The music video is very creative and playful so it could appeal to a range of audiences (perhaps more young adult audiences), similarly to how we want our music video to too.

This is an intertextual reference to how we will use stop animation in our own music video. It can create a lot of movement and variations of speed and movement can help keep the audience interested. Furthermore, by having different fun and entertaining shots of Gabriel increases the focus of the audience. For example, the audience would have more attention with Gabriel 'dances' around in a bright room with ladies to the music.
