Elizabeth & the Catapult

A source of inspiration has come from a small music video for a song called "Thank you for Nothing" by a folk singer called Elizabeth & the Catapult. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLAfmxC5lJI
The reason is that this video is an inspiration because of the set and the camera work. (My two expressive arts).
On the set front, the video is set in a very beautiful forest and involves the singer, Elizabeth walking away trying to find firewood. This may seem a very "boring" kinda plot. However it really works. Mainly because the song is a very simple folk song, so the video fits in.
The main reason why I dediced to take influence from it was because the camera work is very well done. The camera mainly does panning views of Elizabeth and the background of the forest. I like this method because it is very still and I think it symbolise's calm and tranquail. Which is what the song is about. However, our song is a very fast moving, quite angry song. So, its the complete opposite which I find quite intersting to study. For I can watch the Elizabeth video, and know what our video will be like because Elizabeth's is completly the opposite (I hope that makes sense to you...)
Another reason why I like this video so much is becuase of the backdrop :

 ( a wonderful panning shot of the winter forest)

 ( Elizabeth's builds a fire..)

I find that because this song is a emotional song, the setting plays a big part, such as this part:

As you can see the river is in the background, this is my favoutite part of the video because it adds an extra thing in the background. Otherwise, the background may look bland and makes the forset look more beautiful, and this to me makes the song more beautiful
I hope to take some of the panning shots into our production, and aslo may attention to the little things in the background.
