Goodwin's Music video conventions

After studying Andrew Goodwins theory that music videos follow six conventions, I decided to apply this to a recent music video to see if the conventions apply to all music videos. The song that i decide to study was Crystalline by Björk. Here is the music video:



Here is a powerpoint presentation i made including screenshots showing points throughout the video where the conventions are shown.



There are however some of Goodwins conventions that this video does not follow, there is no voyeurism of the female body within this video or intertextual references and as far as i am aware the video does not follow genre characteristics closely
