1) The song is a rap song by Devlin featuring pop singer Yasmin, blending rap, grime, and pop genres. 2) The music video needs to be longer than the song at 4 minutes to tell the story of a couple who are stressed with life and decide to run away together. 3) The video will show the couple packing, taking a train, and arriving at an open field to metaphorically show their escape from urban life and finding freedom.

Devlin - Runaway (ft. Yasmin)
By David Oloko

2. Genre
The song is by rap artist ‘Devlin’
featuring pop singer ‘Yasmin’ in the
chorus. This makes the the genre of
the music video will be Rap/Grime
with an infusion of Pop. The softer
tone of the song and music video also
moves it slightly away from the
stereotypical grime or rap style.
The product is a music video and
therefore must run longer than the
song itself. The runtime for the song
‘Runaway’ is 3:38. Taking into account
the narrative of the music video and
story-focused intro and outro, the
duration of the product should run for
about 4 minutes.

4. Outline
A couple living in a town in London are shown having issues, coping with the stress of
modern life and arguing in their home. They then decide to “runaway” from their regular
lives by getting on a train and leaving to go somewhere else. This is to portray the
theme of escapism and enlightenment in the lyrics of the song. The music video will
then follow their journey, shots of the packing, driving in a car, entering the train station
and leaving on a train. Their destination will not be specified but they will be shown
walking into an open field with the sun shining, metaphorically showing they have
escaped the chains/confinement of urban living and cities; they are free. The couple
then close in for a kiss in the field and it fades to black. Throughout the music video will
be shots of Devlin and Yasmin rapping and singing respectively, intercut with the
narrative scenes.
