1. Devlin - Let it Go - The lyrics and the visuals illustrates and amplifies the lyrics and music. It tells a story about a couple breaking up
- Multiple close-ups of the main artist or vocalist.
- There is scenes of a girl half naked - voyeurism
- I did not notice any intertextual refrences to other media texts.
2. Owl City - Fireflies - There is definitely a relationship between the music and the visulas - on each beat a toy/light lights up.
There is the odd link with the objects and the lyrics for example the 'disco ball hanging by a thread'
There is no voyeurism in this video and this is because the song isn't about a relationship, or girl etc. therefore there is no need for it as it would be irrelevant.
There is some intertexuality such as the record player and the fact that the toys somewhat resemble those out of the film 'Toy Story'.
