Amplifactaion, Disjuncture and Illustration (research)

Eminem - cleanin' out my closet is a good example of Illustration . He is telling a story of his bad childhood. which instantly relates to the lyrics. The low lighting creates a dark mood and intense emotions. I also feel this video has great location and mise en scene which helps create the video.



The killers -Smile like you mean it, is a great example of Amplification. As the band travel around in their past memories like ghosts it links with the lyrics. At a glance it does seem a bit confusing but as you listen to the lyrics you connect that the ghosts represents something important about his childhood.



Micheal Jackson- Man in the mirror is a prime example of Disjuncture. The lyrics have little connection the lyrics. As the song is about self-realisation but the video as wold events.
