Rough Ideas That May Change

After listening to Florence and the Machines single 'What the Water Gave Me' and watching some of her other videos I had a brain storm of ideas, looks, settings, props and ideas on how my video could be set out. Although I think these would only work if I was to do a song from Florence and the Machine or something similar. I am also thinking of more pop genres and how the songs and tempo of them would change my ideas and feelings so I am aware that the ideas below will change.

Character
Want to base character on Florence Welch
Wear flouncy clothes, loose fabric on arms. Could buy fabric myself and sew onto a dress to create flowing movements. My star would be kooky and create lots of shapes with her fluid movement.





Props
Chandeliers
Traditional Bird Cage
Microphone decor
The set should have a very “kitch” look to it with shabby chic ornaments in it.
A fan is crucial to enhance the flowing material. 
Possibly a single drum with logo
Backgrounds could be created with wallpaper, could buy a small sample of wallpaper big enough to fill the screen if it was a mid shot for example.
I have a small smoke machine so that would be a great effect to use.
A forest would be good to decorate with ribbons, hang chandeliers off trees and bird cages.













Video Ideas
Looking at what the water gave me video for inspiration along with many other Florence videos.  
Shots and angles I like
Symmetry
Put the camera on a different angle to give an interesting twist to the shot.
