The last music video that i have chosen to analyse for my A2 coursework is a song by Teddy Geiger called 'For you I will'. Teddy Geiger is known more in USA and for doing songs in the genre of Alternative rock and pop rock. The song that I am analysing is in the genre of Pop rock.
There are lots of examples throughout this video of Goodwin's theory that there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. One example throughout the music video is in one of the last scenes of the music video where Teddy Geiger is in a typical American house party, and when he sings 'Cannonball into the water' he does a cannonball into the pool. This is done to relate the lyrics of the song to the visuals that the audience sees. There is also another part of the music video when there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. This is when Teddy Geiger sings 'I could fall asleep on those eyes' and it cuts to the actress playing his love interests eyes. This enhances the lyrics and what they mean to the audience.
The 'For you I will' video is all about how Teddy Geiger always goes for what he cant have, this is shown in the music video when he falls for a girl who is played by Kirstin Cavallari who is in the US program called Laguna Beach. But this girl has a boyfriend, so Teddy Geiger does what ever he can to get what he wants and how he ends up getting what he wants. There is a slight hint of performance on the music video because Teddy Geiger is seen busking on the streets, which could be linked back to when he started singing, because a lot of artist start busking on the streets to get them out in the public eye.

There is an example of Goodwin's theory that there is a relationship between the Visuals and the music. this is shown about 30 seconds in the music video and the music starts to become louder and the pace starts to become quicker. There is 6 different shots in 5 seconds before the music begin to slow down again. This part pf the music video is when Teddy Geiger sees the girl that he has fallen for. the change in pace could connote how when he sees her, his heart beings to beat quicker. these are 3 of the shots in the six shot sequence.
there is a shot in the music video which helps to show how Teddy Geiger is trying to be sell this track by showing how he has grown as an artist from a very young age. in this shot there is a picture on the wall of Teddy Geiger as a young child with an electric guitar in his hand and he walks past it and there is a moment when the audience can see how much he has changed from when he started having an interest in music.
To conclude Tedd Geiger's music video for 'For you I will' has some of the codes and conventions of a pop rock music video. It has the typical guy lusting over a girl who he cant have. This combined with the typical setting of an American house party is what makes this music video a typical Pop rock music video.
