My second idea for a music video would be to the song spanish sahara by foals. The idea for this video would be underwater and because the song is slow the artist would be conveying the imagery of drowning. The setting would be the water but in different colours so one set would be just the water behind the artist, another would be a black background like they are weightlessly falling through the air, different colours leeking through the water like a bleeding effect, murky water, shadows, colour and different make up to outline different themes and feelings.
The costume would be simple white and a flowing material that exaggerates the effect off the water and the close ups could show no costume at all but just bare skin e.g. face and arms. There is a performance element in some way as although the artist is floating through the water like they have no control over there body the performance is in there face showing the pain that supports the sadness from the song. Even though there is no particular story line i want the audience to be able to recognise the themes that constantly occur shown through imagery for example the red colour run in the photo below could show bleeding. The white costume could show purity depending on how the audience decide to interpret it. The artist in this video is a female and is similar too florence and the machine who also writes music that has a deeper meaning leaving the audience to work that out for themselves depending on there own personal opinion. The artist has an edgy image, she is interesting to look at and although shows a lot on the outside you can see she hides a lot on the inside which is the base of this video.
The video fits in with the track because as mentioned it is a slow song so the idea of drowning works because the beat has a fading tone that makes you feel and think of water. The video fits in with the brand image of the artist because the artist would usually write music with the same sort of theme so this could signify a story line to make all the artists music link.
here is a video that shows clearly the base of my idea
