Riptide, Vance Joy

Vance Joy- Riptide Analysis
Intertextuality- In Un Chien Andalou, the well-known eye slicing scene could've inspired the hand stabbing scene 
Action Code-when the suitcase is being packed as it implies travel
Enigma Code-'there's this movie that I think you'll like', continues to linger on the back cover before flipping over and revealing the name 
Editing-
Jump Cut-fast paced editing keeps with the quick strums of the guitar 
Connotation-money used as it has the connotations of green, the green then used to convey envy as she's 'the magicians assistant in their dreams' 
Denotation-'I was scared of dentists', shows image of a scared women with dental equipment in her mouth looking frightened 
Anchorage-'and starting conversations', image of a book titled 'techniques of photographing girls'
Cultural Code- Cowboys, representation of women, based on the way they look and objectified   
Semantics Code-
Genre-

Mixture of centred and off-centred images. Perhaps a cyclical structure? Split screen, action in the first continuing through to the second?
