DON’T BE GONE TOO LONG 
X (09.14) 
CHRIS BROWN FT. ARIANA 
GRANDE 
EURO-POP 
MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS 
BY AMINATTA SYLVA 
13H
WHAT ARE THEY WEARING? 
• As part of the costume for the narrative based music video, that has been set in a fantasy 
medieval period. The male (Chris) is wearing a long mesh medieval shirt, her princess 
(Ariana), is wearing a long lavender dress. Binary oppositions are clearly established here, 
through their clothing. Looking at their clothing, you can tell that Ariana is more wealthy 
than Chris, as he is wearing dark, peasant like clothing. This could be the reason why they 
are not allowed to be together. 
• They are together in a desolate fantasy like environment. We can infer this because the moon 
is too big in the sky, as well as the stars being fully visual. As they stand out in their dark, 
high key lit area. Here, the camera pans around the couple, which goes with the beat of the 
music. The cuts to the dance scenes also go with the bass that we hear. At these scenes we 
see Ariana and Chris (sometimes just Chris) dancing to the beat. However, we cannot see 
their face, because they are dancing in the dark. This further suggests that they are 
forbidden to see each other, that’s why are a dancing in the dark. The use of cross fades, 
makes the lovers seem as one.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING? 
• This music video is based around the elements of love, magic, royalty and is 
set during the medieval period. 
• The princess and her lover sing to each other until their peace is disrupted 
by the antagonist, preferably the King’s guard. They remove the princess 
away from her lover, and throw him in jail. 
• The lover have duet amongst each other from different locations, this is a 
typical convention of duets. This signifies to us that they might be apart, 
but their hearts are not apart. 
• Brown is trapped in a medieval prison, mean while Ariana is singing at the 
top of a castle. This again is another binary opposition, wealthy vs. the 
unfortunate and trapped vs. freedom. 
• Then there is a close up of Brown stealing the keys off a guard, before then 
strangling him, in order to go to his princess. 
• Low angle shot of Brown walking in slow motion, past the unconscious 
guard. He is wearing a dark long robe, to hide his identity. However, the 
cinematography of this shot suggests to us that Brown is now empowered
WHAT ARE THEY DOING? 
• Shot of the antagonist doing black magic, this is suggested to us because 
his eyes go black. We also get close ups of witch craft objects; potions etc. 
• Behind the antagonist we see skull faces appearing in the fog behind him. 
This further suggests to us that he is letting evil spirits inhabit him, so that 
he can stop Ariana being with Chris. 
• Whilst the evil fumes are entering him, two shirtless men are ritualistically 
dancing to the music, with fire lit between them. 
• We are then shown shots of Chris and Ariana together in a flourished and 
magical forest like setting. The colour of the setting reflects the mood of 
the couple, as now they are free and happy together. 
• The final shot, Chris gets to the castle to see his princess, but just after they 
kiss, the antagonist appears. This is where it ends. However, this is 
enigmatic because we want to know what happens next.
WHAT IS THE SONG ABOUT? 
• This song is about love growing into something beautiful, such 
as a rose, or perhaps love maturing by time. It is also about 
being afraid of being lonely, thus the title of the song.
LYRIC ANALYSIS 
I dug a single seed into the 
ground 
I hope it grows, grows 
In a year or two if you're around 
You'll see a rose, rose 
The single seed is a metaphor for hope and new 
love. It’s a small thing which can turn into a 
beautiful flower, here — a rose. 
Roses are a common symbol of love (especially red 
ones), but in order to grow a rose yourself, not only 
would you need to find good ground with enough 
sunlight, but you’d need to take care of it every 
day. 
On a train to Paris going 
nowhere 
Trouble bridge behind me 
Given the distance though, he is almost 
explaining how he would even flee the 
continent if it meant escaping his problems. 
But running away from them will not fix 
anything, and he knows it. Fleeing to a 
different place or country could make Chris feel 
like he can start new life and forget about all 
the controversy he may be facing.
LYRIC ANALYSIS 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
'Cause you won't be there to love 
me when you're gon 
Chris is known for his lust for women. He is afraid of 
being lonely and it leading to either of the sides 
cheating. 
He doesn’t want that scenario to happen. In a way he 
asks her to be there for him, so that he can stay 
faithful. “Tell me who’s gonna love me when you’re 
gone” sounds more like a rhetorical question than a 
regular one. Chris wants to remain loyal but he also 
knows that if the girl is not around he will be all 
alone. 
Golden leaves are dancing on 
the ground 
It's getting cold, cold 
Safe from time, will be forever 
young 
Never old, old 
The golden leaves signify fall, a season symbolizing 
decline. This is the main concept of another track on the 
album — “Autumn Leaves”. Also, the word “cold” applies 
to both fall’s cool temperature and love’s wavering 
passion. 
While people’s bodies aren’t safe from time and 
everyone grows old, the spirit and the feelings can stay 
young and fresh forever. 
Even if the two are away from each other or their 
relationship ends, their “Young Love” will always be in 
their hearts, immune to the destructive force of time.
CINEMATOGRAPHY 
• This music video was technologically challenging to 
create, as it was created through the use of a green 
screen, as shown in the BTS. 
• In this music video long shots were used to establish the 
setting/environment of the place, so that the audience can 
clearly establish which time period it has been set in. 
Close ups were used to allow the audience to clearly see 
objects, or characters’ emotions. Much of the filming was 
done through the use of a crane shot. 
• In some of the shots shallow space focusing was used to 
make the audience pay attention to what the directors 
want us to do. Deep space focus was also used in the 
music video. 
• Lighting was effectively used in this music video, 
especially during the dance scenes and prison cell. 
• Editing featured cross fades, graphic matches and cuts, 
that went in time either with the narrative or the beat of
