4. Ideas American Beauty Film relating to love/loss and again self destruction. Similar to our idea about the girl in the video lying in water. Ophelia Taking inspiration from the character Ophelia in Hamlet, using a similar image to this to represent self destruction/breakdown. Flower Petals Using a particular colour of petals in water to represent love or loss. Red for love and white for loss/loneliness. These could be a subtle symbolic symbol for how the girl is feeling. Fire To represent the girls rage, and matching the growing anger/lively tone as the song progresses. Embers At the end of the video to represent the end of the girls downfall, and possibly the end of her life?
5. Costume Winter Wear Shows the cold weather, cold representing isolation and fitting with the slow start of the song before drama builds. White Floaty Dress To be used for the bath scene, inspired by Ophelia. Shown when drama grows near the end of the song. Band So far, we have planned for the band to wear their normal clothes, as they will fit the style of the song well.
