Goodwin Analysis (Conceptual) - Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore

This music video is Brick by Boring Brick by American Punk Rock band Paramore which is on their Brand New Eyes Album. This video is a conceptual video because it includes strong visual images and metaphorical theme of Alice in the Wonderland that show to have a deeper meaning that correlates to the meaning of the song. It does not tell a story in a linear way but it creates a mood where it is intriguing and interesting to watch. The actual meaning of this video can be interpreted in different ways. This video does not necessarily demonstrate a genre characteristic and neither does it show a illustrative relationship between the lyrics and visuals but rather a contradicting one. The whole video is based on a 'hyper-real' visual experience. The focus of the video is drawn towards the little girl that is acting in the video as a fictional character.
