Major Lazer & Dj Snake ft. MØ - Lean On

Lean On is a song that was released in March 2015. It has been very successful becoming the most streamed song on spotify with 530 million plays + since november. The video is asian themed and many dancers feature.

The video starts with a female character on a bed in a 'temple' like place. The first 30 seconds then switch with the bed and stairs location. The camera rotates to adjust the light for the sun in the exterior locations.

For the chorus, it cuts to an interior location with extra asian like traditional dancers who dance for the chorus. The camera here is quite limited but focuses on the moves and aesthetics of the shot.

The sound used is all non diegetic as no dialogue is created or used in the piece.

The 3 artists are then dancing with themselves in synchronisation in a similar room. This location is the basis for the rest of the video which does not change much. I feel this works well due to the mood staying the same throughout.
