Pitch for our music video

The song we have chosen for our main music video is 'Runaway' by Galantis. After completing primary research through an online survey that was posted on social media such as Facebook and Snapchat, we were able to find out peoples opinions on music videos that they had previously watched. This information has allowed us to come up with a plan that will meet peoples expectations. 

The Music video we will create will be just under 4:00 minutes because after having 44 people complete the questionnaire majority said that they preferred to watch a video under 4:00 minutes. This is due to if it is too long people don't bother watching anymore and just continue to listen, by them not watching as well wont allow them to recognise the video the next time it is on.

We would like to change the type of location we will film it in. Instead of it being the city at night with all the lights beaming, we would like to change it to grassy land/fields so we can give off a different atmosphere when we film it.We feel that the song speaks of someone who gets stronger and feels more alive when they're with this certain person. The lyrics 'I want to runaway' just sums up the general feelings in life of being fed up. We felt by ding it in a field or a location full of land then it would relate with each other as there is a lot of land and space, an open area just like an open mind wanting to run away.

The shots however we would like to keep similar, we would like to keep a relatively large amounts of close ups in there so that we can keep the emotions and feelings visual throughout. However in the original music video the close ups aren't there to show emotions as the main artist performing has got a mask on therefore they cannot be shown. 

There is no need for a mask or face coverage in our  film as it wont have the same lighting or the same kind of feel to it. Our video is hoped to be more chilled out as the original is quite funky.

Textual Analysis - Sia Chandelier

                                                                        Sia Chandelier This music video is mainly well known for its  choreography as this is a memorable factor, there is no lip syncing - it is just literally Maddie dancing to the meaning of the song. Performance –  Sia doesn't like to star in her own videos, she has Maddie Ziegler a young girl who dancers throughout for her as a dancer. The performance is of Maddie dancing all around an abandoned, neglected location which is dirty and unpleasant. Lyrics -   The words "swinging from a chandelier" is usually know as a metaphor for partying to excess. As she states in the lyrics "party girls don't get hurt" so if she keeps drinking she won't feel the pain that addictions can eventually give.  She si...

Textual analysis of Toxic - Britney Spears

                                                         Britney Spears TOXIC Performance – When she is on the phone, it acts as if she is telling the story whereas the shots of her in her white suit is aimed to be more sexual and less story based. She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative. She is sexualised throughout the whole of the music video; however, some parts are more sexualised than others are. Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...
