One of the ideas in the video is the facepainting. I got this idea after watching the 100 greatest music video, from the video that got to number 2, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. He, quite obviously, at one point in the video had a sky scene go across his face. As the song I am using is called 'Under the sky' I thought doing something similar would go well. As my video idea was about a girl who had never gone outside getting the courage to go outside, I could use the facepaints as an obvious indicator that she wants to leave. Right from the start before you know that she dreams of being outside from the paint alone.
The idea of the video being about a girl wanting to go outside from the first time came from the line 'Time to leave'. The emotion behind this part of the soon sounds very forceful and determined, like someone would sound when they are really sure of something. This, combined with the song title, gave me the idea that she was determined to go out, under the sky. From here I thought about the fairytale Rapunzel with the idea of being locked up and unable to leave, showing her 'depression' and wanting to get out of it.
Another music video helped create my idea, Skinny Love by Birdy. The video has a similar feeling to the one I want to create in my own video. I also think the type dress she wears in the video would go good in my own. This is because this type of dress looks old fashioned, and with the idea of the girl in my video never have been outside, the only clothes they would have are old, and the connotations of white show innocence and purity, and these ideas are often associated with children. This will work with my video as the girl is in a deep depression, but wishes to get out, to be 'born again', to start over.
