Andrew Goodwin's Analysis - Eric Prydz Call on Me
Genre Characteristics:
The genre of the video is Dance/Pop due the dancing people and catchy popular song. The video is set in one location and throughout they are performing a dance routine. Eric Prydz doesn't appear in the video.
Visuals and Lyrics:
In this video their are is a small part of singing, although it is an actor who is miming the lyrics not Eric Prydz himself.
Visuals and Music:
The editing speeds up and slows down in time with beat and pace of the song. There is also a lot of cutting on the beat.
Needs to Sell Artist:
The music video for Call on Me does not really sell Eric Prydz as an artist, although the overtly sexual content of the video may make certain audiences expect the same from his music videos in the future and therefore could possibly build an audience.
Intertextuality:
The music video spoofs a scene from the 1985 film ''Perfect'' which features a dance studio full of women and some men including John Travolta, dancing in a sexually suggestive manner and not wearing much clothing.
Voyeurism:
This music video definitely is full of voyeurism as the whole point of it is a room full of half-naked women dancing in a sexually suggestive manner and there is only one male but he is wearing more clothing than the women.
