This is the music video for Florence and the Machine- Cosmic Love. I particularly love the lighting in this video, the dark red and purple hues tie in well together, creating a mystical tone that goes with the lyrics.
The video starts and ends with a close up on a flickering light bulb, which fits in with orchestral music in the beginning. I love how you can see the out of focus lights glimmering in the background.
This sequence works really well as an introduction of the singer, as it fades in from the other shot, with beginning with a medium shot as she acts out the lyrics of the song. Then there is an effective close up on her hands and face.
These transitional shots of the out of focus lights work really well in the gaps between no lyrics.
This shot is a close up with a pan over her eyes. i really love the angle of this shot and i think it works really well being upside down.
This setting is very minimalist, by just having a room of mirrors and some lights, but the angles of the shots and her ethereal dancing makes it work really well.
This is the same setting as the first shot but the change of the lighting makes it seem new and effective. The camera follows her as she walks through the leaves as if the viewers are part of the video.
i like how this shot is being filmed from bellow so you can taken in all the lights, then they are cut out with the music, to cut to the next scene.
This transition with the different, darker lights works well to signify the climax of the song.
i love the soft lighting in this shot that compliments her clothes. The outfits she wears in this video fit in with her slightly obscure genre of music and style.
I love the lighting in this medium shot and the mirrors in the room help reflect the lights even better. I really like the way her dress has been lit up as well.
This shot ties up with the opening shot to signify the end of the video with the light turning off.
