Tenacious D - 'Tribute Music Video' analysis.



Genre Characteristics:
- Guitar - live performance
- Rock 'n' roll - braking the machine
- Ripping shirt to show his chest.
- Video is a parde as it isn't serious (linking to the idea of Jack Black being a comedian.
- Kicked out of the photobooth machine - Rock/violent-like.
- They dont look like typical rock stars (show parde).

Relationships between lyrics and visuals:
- 'We looked at each other' - they look at each other and sing the lyrics.
- Points and shows different hand signs and actions to the lyrics.
- Overall, the video illustrates the song throughout the whole music video.

Relationships between music and visual:
- Electric guitar solo shows the sound of a flash and a flash on the music video is then shown.
- Music builds up and then the visual story changes.
- Music fades out, devil dies at the end, the story ties up at the end.

Influence of the record label and use of close ups:
- Close up shots in the photo booth when they are together show their expressions.
- Close ups of the people in the video, showing them for who they are, their personality is shown, showing the comedian.

References to the notion of looking/voyeurism:
