2. Music Video 1:
Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera- Moves Like The Jagger.

3. How’re the band/artist
represented?
Is this similar across the
videos?:
The music video ‘Moves Like Jagger’ is based on
Mick Jagger so therefore, he is presented in the
video through Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera.
Throughout the video the main singer of Maroon 5,
Adam Levine, is presented as a modern day Mick
Jagger. The video is shown as old fashioned at the
beginning, showing Mick Jagger performing, and
then it gradually gets more modern, right up to
when Christina Aguilera starts to sing. Maroon 5
and Christina, are seen to be performing at a talent
contest to celebrate Mick Jagger’s dancing and
singing, and they are both the main performers in
the video.
This is different to both Maroon 5’s other videos
and Christina Aguilera’s videos too.

4. What relationships exist between
images and lyrics in the chosen
video?:
There is some relationship between the images in the video and the
lyrics of the song. ‘Moves Like Jagger’ is the main theme in the video,
this means it is based on Mick Jagger. In the lyrics, he is mentioned a
lot and in the video, there are black and white clips of Mick Jagger
dancing and then the main singer of Maroon 5 imitates him. The
images in the video don’t really represent the lyrics, only when Mick
Jagger is dancing.
On a separate post on ‘Blogger’, I will post the lyrics of this song so
you can see how the video and the lyrics coincide.

5. What relationship exists between
the music and the images?:
The music in the video is a typical Maroon 5 tune. The music and the images
work well together as they up beat music, goes well with the fast, and intense
dancing. The music also makes it feel like the situation the characters in the
video, are in. The instruments in the video that are in the song, make the video
feel very British, which is what they are trying to get across in the video with the
use of Mick Jagger. The music compliments the images, and vice-versa.

6. Are there any inter-textual
references to other media forms? If
so who/what?:
Yes, Mick Jagger is mentioned a lot in the song, and also he is shown in a
black and white video, performing, which pops up every now and again in the
video itself. Maroon 5 are the main artists in the video, but Christina Aguilera
also does some of the vocals. She is in around half the song, but isn’t seen or
mentioned as much as Maroon 5.

7. Is it possible to see any common
features in the music video?:
There are some recurring features in the music videos. These are:
Mick Jagger- He is seen on old video clips and the music video and song
are based on him.
British- The British flag is in the background throughout the video, so this
could mean they are trying to give us a message through the video, about
being proud to be British.
Dancing- All throughout the video everyone shown is dancing and singing,
and this is the main theme for the video.
The video itself is set out in quite an old fashioned way and this is
probably how choreographers wanted it to look. The old fashioned clothes
and people set the scene also.

8. What taglines or catchphrases are
present?:
‘Moves Like Jagger’, the name of the song, the theme of the
song, and the vocals are all based on this phrase and well
known saying. This makes sure that the video has a theme
and people already know the saying, so can therefore relate
with it.
