Location of Music Video Analysis

Big open room –makes the artist look small and vulnerable, fitting with the song

Primarily white – makes the piano/artist stand out more

Messy surroundings – suggests abandonment

Props in background are knocked over –suggests a lack of care for the environment, focus on the music/piano

Bright surroundings contrast with the dark edge of the song and artist’s costume

Drapes hanging in background – almost like they are flowing/floating – fits with artists girly image

Open space – draws attention straight to the artist, again showing importance. This also helps the audience to identify the artist quickly.

Lines draw audience’s eye to the artist – shows her importance

Runway – connotations of planes taking off, maybe the song is going to ‘take off’?

Other parts of the location do not show exactly where the video is set, this way it is relatable to many audiences and more appealing around the world

Location is very sunny –fits with the lyrics ‘burn’

On stage – typical of singer/songwriter genre, audience is able to identify the genre easily

Painting in the background suggests creativity

Blue and yellow – stand out against the black background and helps the artist to stand out to the audience

This image is actually an album cover, therefore this shows intertexuality between other Passenger products

Lots of small lights – again intertexuality is shown between the album ‘All the Little Lights’
