Personal favorite music video Sia - Chandelier

 I have decided to share my favourite music videos all from different types of artists to identify what i believe makes an interesting and successful music video.

  Sia - Chandelier

The music video for "Chandelier" was released on 6 May 2014. It features Maddie Ziegler a then-11-year-old dancer. In the video, Ziegler wears a medium-length blonde wig matching the one that Sia used to promote the album. Throughout the video, Ziegler dances in a deserted, dirty apartment "while spinning, kicking, leaping, crawling, falling, twirling and hiding herself behind window drapes".An alternative one take version of the clip was released in June 2014.Ziegler was personally asked by Sia to appear in the video via Twitter. The video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill,and was choreographed by Ryan Heffington.Ziegler shared her thoughts about the choreography with New york magazine.

"I like the whole dance. It was really different and weird for me, because I usually don't, you know, be a crazy person every time. It was so fun to do and it was really out of the box and it expanded me a lot, because I'm used to competition dances where you're like, "Point your toes!" But this time it was like, you just need to let go and feel it."

 The video went viral on YouTube and became the seventh most-watched video on the video-sharing website of 2014.It has received over 880 million views, becoming the 15th most viewed YouTube video of all time.As of January 2015, Billboard ranked the video at number 12, on the list of the 20 best of the 2010s (so far). Both Rolling Stone magazine and Spin magazine named it the Best Music Video of 2014 ^.VH1 listed it first among the "most groundbreaking" videos of 2014.

 The reason i have chosen this video as one of my favourite music videos is due to how unique it.the setting makes you wonder why such a young girl is there alone and how did she get there.who owns or did own the apartment and why is it now derelict. The dance routine is amazing and helps create an atmosphere of not knowing what will happen next.A lot of music videos now seem to have random things in frame and it makes the viewers wonder why its there.this video to me is like we have been allowed into sia head and here thoughts abut what the song was about
