The Game FT Lil Wayne

·      Goodwin’s Theory

The video of my life from the game and Lil Wayne is using the Andrew Goodwin theory of as it is using the lyrics to show the relationship between the visuals and the music which shows an illustrative narrative (Goodwin, 1992). The enhances the effect of the video as it makes the video better in my view and means that people can relate to the meaning of the song and the appeal of the game and Lil Wayne.

The setting of the video helps shows a rugged and rough neighbourhood so this is showing a lower class of society; this portrays the reality of the earlier lives such as the lives of the game, which helps with the appeal of the artist, its then added with the fact that someone is dying on the street after he has been shot which echo’s further the struggle and poverty etc. The uses of these stereotypes help the use of the (Barthes Theory) and the enigma code.
