This picture is one that reflects the style of the artist as well as overall feel of the music video I am wanting to create. For me it represents an independent woman stating her feelings through the way she is styled and placed in this picture. The mise en scene includes colours that are almost vibrant,connoting happiness and positive vibes however I think this contrasts with the way she is sat and the expression she is giving. To me the woman appears lonely and worried its almost as if she is waiting for something and is willing for anything to make her happy again. I think the brightness of the colours and the flowers in the background represent what she wants and is hoping for and shes caught in the middle of a world she desperately wants. Looking at this photo I personally am drawn to the boldness of the flowers. I think they stand out more than the woman for a purpose even though she is in the centre. Its like she is wanting to be the main focus but at the moment is just blending in. The clothing she is dressed also seems to be very significant as the neutral colours make a statement.
The colour white comes with connotations such as:
- to clear clutter and obstacles away
- to start a fresh beginning
- to bring about mental clarity
- purification of thoughts or actions
Not only does the colour white have some significant but the fact there is a fair amount of pink being used shows that there is a story behind the painting. Pink can be associated with love which gives me the impression that, that is what the painting is about in some aspects. It also has codes of acceptance and contentment drawing conclusions that the girl is not feeling complete without love in her life or she is stuck in a relationship wanting to get out. This photo gives inspiration to my music video as the lyrics to the song I have chosen tell the same sort of story.
What influences me about this photo is the way the arist is styled as I would like my arist to look a similar way. I would hope to tell a story through the appearance of my artist ie. the clothing she wears, make up etc. The genre of the artist can usually be seen through the way they are dressed and styled. For example this picture shows the girl in a white dress which isnt out there and so you wouldnt expect the genre to be rock or hip hop as the conventions are not being followed. I hope to dress my artist in a similar way as the song I have chosen is appropriate for this type of clothing.
