Moving on from questions of history and of spectatorship, this chapter addresses three key aspects of how vids make meaning: through intertextual conversation with their source texts, by adopting semiotic density from the songs used as soundtrack, and by using established vid genres to guide interpretation. This chapter focuses on a case study of three Battlestar Galactica (Sci-Fi Channel, 2004-2009) character study vids by Dualbunny—God Is A DJ (2006), Cuz I Can (2007), and I’m Not Dead (2009)—to analyse the construction of narrative and argument through the interplay of popular music and moving images in the vid form. In relation to the growing body of literature on the use of popular, pre-existing, pre-recorded music on television, this chapter will investigate the aural aspect of the vid, particularly in relation to how music is key to the vid's work as an adaptation. The chapter begins with an overview of Battlestar Galactica, followed by an analysis of God Is A DJ. It continues with an extended discussion of popular music and television as a way into talking about how vids use music. The chapter rounds off with analyses of the second and third vids of the trilogy, which each account for the central character's development over the final two seasons of Battlestar. As Julie Levin Russo has pointed out, ‘vidding is not merely visual but also audiovisual, and music is an inextricable component of the form’ (2017: 1.9).
