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.

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

There is a lot of back and forth with the use of continuous to show the set and the scenes. I
