Sia - Chandelier

• The music video is shot in what appears to be a one take, however it could be edited to appear this way.
• The video is set in only one location - this could make the viewer find it boring. However, the main focus of the video is of the dancer.
• Sia is never seen in her own music videos but in 'Chandelier' she is represented by a young girl, Maddie Ziegler, sporting the well known Sia wig.
• Not being seen in your music videos could be a good thing as it allows for deeper connotations
• The music video is all dance by Ziegler
• Sia sings about a wild party girl who is literally swinging from the chandelier at night, but crippled by feelings of intense guilt and shame come morning.
• The video is set in an old and dirty apartment which could represent the narrator's mind - troubled, neglected, and cluttered. Ziegler's dance moves and endless child like energy perfectly embody the reckless abandonment with which the narrator is living her life. This video is an exhilarating, surprisingly fascinating visual depiction of addiction - and probably even depression.
