3. Linkin Park Association – “DJ Joseph Hahn is far and away the most creative member of Linkin Park. Hahn isn't just "that guy in the back" behind his turntables at concerts, he's also infamous for some of LP's trademark, unique music videos. From flying whales in "In The End" to long-legged elephant-spider hybrids in "Somewhere I Belong", Joe always finds ways to make the music videos he directs memorable, intriguing, and eye-catching.” Joe Hahn is connected with one record label, Warner Bros.

4. From the videos that Joe Hahn has directed I can see that his genre of music is rock as he has directed all of Linkin Park’s music videos, from the very beginning. In the link below on the picture, we can see a video of Joe Hahn directed Linkin Park’s Iridescent music video for the new Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie. Joe Hahn’s mark that we can see through all of Linkin Park’s music videos are that he creates this almost fantasy life that isn’t normal to a persons everyday life, for example, we see in ‘Leave Out All The Rest’ the band are on a space ship in the middle of space, and in ‘In The End’ and ‘Somewhere I Belong’ Joe has created these mystical characters from animals that would never go together. We can see that throughout the video Joe creates a fantasy/dream like world that he creates for Linkin Park to be in as part of the lyrics and music of the song which would relate to Goodwin’s theory of lyrics & music relationship towards the visual.
