Research of Music Videos- Continued

Maggie Rogers- Alaska

The music video begins by panning down to reveal a field with our singer standing in the middle of it. The lighting is golden and creates a dream-like effect. 

The camera tracks our singer as she walks forward into a barren but wooded area still singing. She does not make eye contact with the camera which breaks conventions as you would expect most singers to be singing into camera with confidence.

As the music picks up she begins breaking into a dance, her confidence increases a she takes her hood off and looks into camera. The camera pans into a close up before she breaks away from it. 

She continues dancing as the camera pans in and out moving in time to the beat. The camera also tilts up and down to create a strange effect. 

She is then joined by back up dancers 

They form a triangle before dispersing and our singer dances on her own.

The camera, in a swift sweeping shot, reveals the girls are now dancing in formation following strict choreography as they fluently move in time to the beat.

Suddenly a confetti canon explodes as the dancers parade around in joy, pulling extreme facial expressions as the music picks up again.

Smoke fills the air as our singer takes her jacket off and begins singing again, the smoke fills up the screen and provides a smooth transition into an upbeat party scene taking place in the woods.

Our singer reappears this time in heavy makeup and party attire, she wears a full white outfit head to toe and after singing the final line she walks off into the darkness leaving the party behind. The shot fades to black.
