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.

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting and equipment used in the shots, thi
