Analysing Costume, Setting & Location, and Props


Oh No! – Marina And The Diamonds
Timeline of video here.
Costume:
There are 9 costumes.
The use of costume doesn't link to the verse-chorus-verse structure, the different costumes appear at random times in the video.
Marina has a Dollar bill dress and a credit card dress; this links to the line "Don't want cash, don't want card".
The costumes in this video link to the pop genre; some are quite wacky and outrageous, and this is typical of the pop genre. However, Marina is dressed quite modestly and doesn't expose too much; this is not typical of a pop video.

Setting & Location:
There are 11 different settings, but they were probably all filmed at one location which I'm guessing is a studio.
The setting and locations don't link to the costumes, but the office setting links to the line "Don't do love, don't do friends, I'm only after success", the room full of TVs links to the line "TV taught me how to feel, now real life has no appeal", and the sky setting links to the line "I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly".
The use of setting and location doesn't really link to the pop genre because familiar, outrageous, and often generic settings and locations are typically used in pop videos, whereas the settings in this video were all quite random, and mostly quite basic.

Props:
