Amplification
Linkin Park are an American rock band and ‘Numb’ is one of
their well known and
critically acclaimed songs, released as the third single from their second
album Meteora. The lyrics reflect someone’s emotions of feeling under pressure
and alone and in the video the main persona, a teenage girl, gives the vibes of
these emotions. This leads me to believe that this music video reflects the
theory of Amplification because she doesn’t act out what the lyrics say.
However, she gives a new meaning to the words as we see her going about her day
and we are shown the struggles she has to go through. Therefore the intense
struggles of her life amplify the lyrics to make them seem real so that the
audience can relate to her because the lyrics are put into context and we are
shown how they can affect someone’s life.
