Disjuncture, Illustration and Amplification.

Before making a music video there are three main aspects that directors have to consider. These three main aspects are called disjuncture, illustration and amplification.

Disjuncture


Disjuncture is when lyrics within a song have a small similarity to the video. The music video that I have chosen which relates to Disjuncture is Biffy Clyro - God and Satan. I have chosen this song is because of the fact that he is talking about religion and little glimps of this is shown within his video. As there is a small ceremony going on within the video which could be related to religion.

Illustration

Illustration is when the lyrics to a song relate to the video alot. It relates so much that the roleplay within the video links to the lyrics, like a story is being told. I have chosen

this video as I feel that the lyrics are being played out by a couple.

Amplification


I have chosen Two Door Cinema Club as the lyrics have nothing to do with the music video. This is called amplification. The fact that the band are laying on a black background and are just playing their instruments, shows that it doesn't relate to the lyrics.
