Identifing Goodwin's Seven Codes in Music Videos

Blink 182: All the small things



 this video shows five out of the seven codes.The first code seen is where they demonstrate genre characteristics by performing to a crowd of fans.
there are a large number of close ups of all three members of the band, this is due to demands that are made by the record label.
there are motifs that follow through their other work, this band often has comical themes in there video, many of there video also involve shots of the three of them performing together.







They also show another code, of women being portrayed in a voyeuristic manner when you see the woman on the beach wearing a small bikini.
The code that is mainly seen in this video is the one that relates to inter-textual references, this is because the entire video is based around Blink 182 doing impressions of famous pop artists videos.
