Settings and Locations

For the Location of the original music video done by Galantis it is set in the city at night showing the bright lights and the night life. We didn't feel that, that location was suited that well for the song or lyrics itself. This is because we felt that the lyrics of Runaway is more of an empty feeling rather than it being in an environment of light up bright colours as presented in the original. The lyrics contradicted the video.

In our video we are going to remake we had a few different ideas.





After coming up with three realistic ideas of where we could go to change it up a bit we decided on the fields and grass land as we felt it would give the best atmosphere when mixing with the lyrics. We wanted it to be completely different to the original but top give the same feelings and show the same story the original did.

So the location of our music video will be in an open location of land, grassy fields and lots of trees. We thought about this location and decided it would suit the genre and the lyrics really well. 

Here is the type of location/scenery we hope to achieve -

If we are able to get a large piece of land with lots of distance then we would be able show the meaning of the song and title far better 'Runaway'. So that it can show the meaning far better. The pictures above are the kind of locations we are planning to film in.

Lyrics -   The words "swinging from a chandelier" is usually know as a metaphor for partying to excess.

Textual Analysis- Please don't leave me by Pink

Performance: The performance consists of Pink, the artiste dressed as a nurse, but not your typical hospital nurse. it is more of a sexy nurse outfit, which is suppose to appeal to the male gaze. Lyrics:  The song is about a couple with a a controlling girlfriend that is abusive towards her boyfriend, pushing him away but not wanting him to actually leave her. '   "I always say how I don't need you, but it's always gonna come right back to this, please don't leave me." Genre / mise en scene: The song is a Pop rock, dance pop song. whereas the video genre is horror/thriller. Camerawork: The camera is often seen following Pink, there is often the use of low angle that makes Pink appear powerful. Editing: Often the shots are continuous,especially when they are fighting at the start, they are also quite jumpy and choppy to go with their fast actions. There is a lot of back and forth with the use of continuous to show the set and the scenes. I...
