Costumes and props of original

Costumes -

Costumes are important because they play a huge role that follows the conventions of a particular genre. This is very commonly used in the music industry. They also help represent the artist in the way they are wanting to express themselves to the audience in.

In the music video Runaway itself, it does't have much of a costume as it is mainly blacked out throughout the video as shown below, however there is a big rabbit type head worn by the actor within the music video. The costume in most scenes is hardly seen. It isn't focused on greatly, it isn't the key feature in order to tell the story and explain the lyrics.

Props -

Props are there to show the conventions of a certain genre and to help present a artist how they want to be seen. Although this is very subtle it allows the audience to get a feel for the background of the song as well as the lyrics.

In the original, there isn't many props used as it is mainly all focus on the main artist. There is little props shown as the idea is to show the artist so that there is more attention put on them this is so it'll hopefully help tell the story of the lyrics. There isn't much need for there to be lots of props,  as it wouldn't really help to guide you into what the story it about, you can understand from the lyrics... the setting just contradicts the who situation.

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...
