My music video is going to be a mixture between performance and narrative. The song I have chosen 'Landscape' by Florence and the Machine doesn't have a certain meaning but can be interpreted in many different ways. From reading other opinions from people and research I have come to my own conclusion; I think the song is particularly about some sort of mental illness that may have been caused by the family or runs in the family from the line "it's running in the family". The whole song suggests that she's trying to overcome her problems that are making her feel depressed because it's having a huge effect on her loved ones ("It's cutting down the family tree"), the song also feels very personal, almost as if she's telling a story or speaking to somebody as she says "darling" throughout, in the performance part of my music video I want my actor to sing directly into the camera.
I want my music video to be a set in a scenic area as the song is called 'Landscape', it also gives a sense of freedom as shes dreaming in the music video, I am going to do this by starting the first scene with her opening her eyes. The whole video is going to be shot in the outdoors, in a green land area, I want to use all sorts of different props such as clocks, candles, photographs, flowers which will all connote different memories just like your in a dream.

This video has really inspired me for the colouring and contrast for my video. I love the vintage colouring in the video, a mixture between pink and pink shades which makes the video also appear warmer. There is a sun that glows through the corner of the screen that I would really like to adapt to my own music video as it gives a warmth feel to the video. I also love that the contrast is really low which adds to the vintage look.
