Analysis of Redundant by green day
The single Redundant is from the Album Nimrod which was released in 1997
The Reason Behind The Song:
Before the Nimrod sessions, Billie Joe Armstrong's marriage had been deteriorating, with the singer arguing with his wife Adrienne Armstrong constantly. Influenced by this conflict, Armstrong reflected on the relationship from two standpoints; the first being his passion for his wife, the second being the repetitious pattern that the relationship had fallen into. The phrase "I love you" had lost its effectiveness and seemed to be said merely out of routine.
What Happens In The Song & The Reason Behind The Creation Of It:
The music video for "Redundant," directed by Mark Kohr, is an homage to Zbigniew Rybczyński's short film Tango. It features the three band members performing the song in the middle of a home. The camera angle remains static for the whole duration of the video.
In the background, several people repeat various mundane tasks for the duration of the video:
- A newspaper is thrown from offscreen.
- A woman stretches her arms and yawns, and then collects the paper and leaves.
- Someone takes a painting off of a wall and replaces it with a new one; then someone else comes in and replaces that painting with the one that's just been replaced.
- An old lady walks in and tries to find her way out.
- A young girl walks from the left side of the screen, places a box on the coffee table next to the couch, and then climbs out of a window.
- A man in a green suit jacket walks around, picks up the box from the coffee table and leaves.
- A man in a cowboy hat walks around.
- A woman in a bright red dress (Dita Von Teese) removes her dress and then walks away in nothing but her bra and underwear.
- A balding man comes in, puts on a pair of trousers, then leaves.
- A woman with a large pot and a plant walks around.
- A man and a girl walk towards a couch and begin making out.
- A man is vacuuming.
- A young girl in a skirt comes in through a window, looks around, and leaves
At the end of the video while the band leave Billy Joe Armstrong picks up he newspaper before the woman is able to which then the woman screams because her daily routine has been interrupted
The Lyrics To The Song:
We're living in repetition.
Content in the same old shtick again.
Now the routine's turning to contention,
Like a production line going over and over and over, roller
coaster.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm speechless and redundant.
'Cause I love you's not enough.
I'm lost for words.
Choreographed and lack of passion.
Prototypes of what we were.
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous.
Taken for granted now.
Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now i hate it.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm speechless and redundant, 'cause I love you's not enough.
I'm lost for words, now I cannot speak.
The Relationship Between The Lyrics & Visuals:
After every verse the video repeats and a new feature is involved every time. Billy Joe Armstrong Starts a verse with "We're living in repetition" The woman yawns and picks up the newspaper and walks off, at the end of the song while the music is stopping the woman yaws and just before she picks up the news paper Billy Joe Armstrong picks it up and she screams and the screen shakes to emphasize how this is a unusual experience for her because while the video is playing he has picked up the paper 12 times in the video.
The Relationship Between The Music & Visuals:
The Music goes at the start at a contestant beat but when a new character is introduced the beat speeds up briefly to give the allusion that the song is showing something that will be repeated over again until the first person you see ( Woman wakening up) has there sequence interrupted then it will all stop and at the end you can hear the music have a speed up slightly and then slow and fade out which is replaced by a scream from the first character. I would say that this video is not there best one but it is one of their best that i think but the best one they have ever done that i thing was "Holiday". This song has a different motif to other videos because it was their first video to show the band playing their instruments.
Are There Close-Ups Of The Artist And Star Image Motifs?
the band in this video are wearing ordinary cloths and are not sticking to the motifs of other rock videos by the fact that they are just leaving the camera still looking towards the band their are no zooms or camera techniques the camera dose not move throughout the video. The image of the band is casual in the video their is nothing that would give people the idea that they are a punk/rock band. This video relates to the others because their other videos consist of them playing their instruments like in the video they have themselves in a good view and they have something going on in the background to take your attention in the video. this video represents a change of image because in their newer videos they have started to wear more black clothing but in this video they are not and it was after this video when they started wearing black.
Is There Reference Of Looking
The video dose not have much of a sexual display there is only a few things that has this and that is a couple snogging and falling on the sofa and a woman in a red dress taking the dress off and walking past the band and that is all of the sexual displays that are shown in the video.
Are There Intertextual References?
There i nothing in the video that would link this video to any other video than the band and that would only link it with other green day music videos.
Is The Video Performance-Based, Narrative-Based Or Concept-Based?
The video is made of mostly performance and in the background there is a narrative base altogether i would say that it is a 50-50 their is no concept in the video the performance in the band playing their instruments and the narrative is the parts that happen in the background.
Conclusion?
The video is by Green day and the song is the best one from the album nimrod, and the song is about the repetition of the lead singer and his wife and how that everything has hit a standstill and that they are just repeating them self's this video is a great one bacause it is the first 1 when they atualy preformed in theire videos so this was a turning point for their videos.

history of music video
The invention of the gramophone made it possible to listen to music in your own home before the gramophone you would have had to watch a performance but now you are able to listen to music In your own home when ever you wanted
was the closes thing people had to music without spending money on performances
The first great invention developed by Edison in Menlo Park was the tin foil phonograph. While working to improve the efficiency of a telegraph transmitter, he noted that the tape of the machine gave off a noise resembling spoken words when played at a high speed. This caused him to wonder if he could record a telephone message. He began experimenting with the diaphragm of a telephone receiver by attaching a needle to it. He reasoned that the needle could prick paper tape to record a message. His experiments led him to try a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, which, to his great surprise, played back the short message he recorded, "Mary had a little lamb."
The word phonograph was the trade name for Edison's device, which played cylinders rather than discs. The machine had two needles: one for recording and one for playback. When you spoke into the mouthpiece, the sound vibrations of your voice would be indented onto the cylinder by the recording needle. This cylinder phonograph was the first machine that could record and reproduce sound created a sensation and brought Edison international fame.

Evaluation
During unit 2 I have done print, video and audio exercises.
For my print exercise I had to design a magazine front cover. For my front cover I decided to make a game magazine which I called "Gamers Guide" the reason I chose to make this kind of magazine was because I really enjoy playing video games. I know what I like in a game so I decided to make a magazine which would show how I think a magazine should look like and what stories I would like to read. For example what kind of games are being released, along with competitions to win trips to E3 as i think this is something most people would like to get in a magazine.
For my video I made a continuity exercise which is a video where there are cuts that do not effect the visual playback of the video. The video consisted of a walk from two different rooms in the lower school. The film consisted of 10-15 cuts, the cuts were all at different locations following the trip and each ended when the featured character walked out of the cameras view and then continued on at a different location. Another part of the corse was to make a treatment for a music video. The treatment I wrote up was for Green Days "Know Your Enemy" this involved writing out the video from start to finish. The idea I came up with was to make the video focus on major wars and victories while the band are shown playing in the middle of a battlefield.
For audio I had to make a podcast for a radio show. My radio show was called "Gamers Guide"in which I was talked about the "Halo" franchise. The reason I chose this was because it is something I knew a lot about and I thought I could give a lot of information about it. The post is only a screenshot of the garageband file because the post would not load into blogger. I will find a way to put the actual podcast into the blog.
