Production value
• The seemingly low budget of the video is either a conscious choice or not.
• Some of Joy’s other music videos e.g. ‘Georgia’ have had a larger budget
and special effects which contrasts with the video for ‘Riptide’.
• In the video you can clearly see that the video used a lower budget as
there is a lack of special effects.
• The video for ‘Riptide’ features a lot of literal clips which contrasts to a
story type music video like in Joy’s other videos, for example, ‘Mess is
Mine’ and ‘From Afar’.
