Florence +The Machine Rabbit Hearts

Florence and The Machines are well known for their vintage unique style.

1. Lighting/ Colour
 In the first scene. the colour is dim , it changes while she take the vale of her face. This is used to show an effect on "New Life Beginning". As the video is carrying on the video is getting brighter. This shows the vintage look of Florence and the Machine. The lightness of the sky brings more a happier mood into the scene. As she moves around, all the colours they are wearing are very bright, this brings the concept of Alice and The Wonderland.In The table scene, the light is mainly on the characters in the table. Although from the people at the back the colour is a dim. This showing a expression of the importance. As in the Roman times those who had high quality living get to live the privileged life of eating whatever they want.

2. Clothes/Makeup

Florence is the main character in this video. That brings the reason for the makeup she is wearing. As compared to the rest of the dancers. As she has pink lipstick , it is engaging to her looks and her hair.
*Her Hair colour brings different kind of emotions. As a Phoenix, her hair colour can bring kindness and also innocents. Although if others look at phoenix, they think creature of danger.*
In the as she wore a grey cloak. That symbolise that she in a trapped universe. As the female characters take the cloak of her it shows that she is escape from the trapped universe into heaven.
The dress she is wearing is a smooth colour. As it can blend into the layout/setting. The Jewellery/ headband she is wearing stands out! she wore it so that she can stand out from the rest of the others characters. This also contradict to the concept of Alice and Wonderland, as she was the main character in the story.
The Clothes they wearing are vintage, this comes to the term of the look which Florence + The Machine show. The Scene when they are all in the table. The two male characters are wearing colours which are more dim. These colours were used so that she can stand out ! Another thing is that the clothes they wore are concept to Alice and Wonder and the roman times.

3. Facial Expression/ Body Language.

Florence half the time when she is singing is closing her eye softly. This shows a innocents in the character. As the cloak is being taking off her. Her facial expression changes, she gets more happier and is being exposed as a child who been allowed to go into their favourite toy store. That is expressed by when she jumps around the area and spins around. The choreography doesn't look that well choreographed, because she looks loose. But that is implying to the freedom she has whenever she is in this universe. As many dance moves, or choreographed dance is mainly stiff and strong this is completely different, for the reason being this video brings a more spiritual vibe.
