Initial Ideas Continued

After our initial song choice of using Lykki Li's I Follow Rivers (Magician Remix) we have further devoloped our ideas on that and researched the lyrics to see what the subtext was. We also watched interviews with her to see what she wanted to convey to her listeners which was the idea of lust and addiction, and how lust is very different to love. This gives us a range of paths to take such as drug addiction but we then came up with the idea of homosexuality and using two lesbians rather than a stereotypical heterosexual romance. We also watched the music video by Rihanna called Found A Love which spurred on the proposal of mixing drugs with romance.

We then looked at Radiohead - Lotus Flower and how the white and black creates a quirky and abstract feel to it which would work well alongside our homosexual basis. The silhouetted figure at the beginning with the lighted background is very effective as well and would look really cool in our video.
