Why did I choose this song?

Disclosure - Confess to Me ft. Jessie Ware

 

I can help you run away for good

All for take what you had understood
All it takes is a little understanding
After all, don't question if I would

Confess to me, make me feel it
Confide in me, don't resent it
'Cause I can't stop you from the fire
I'll fulfill your desires for you [3x]
[2x]

I can take the lo out of lonely
I can stop the sense of slowing down
Don't get lost in if you only tell me
I will help you slip and turn it round

Only not to worry
No time left for me
Only not to worry
No time left for me
[2x]

Confess to me, make me feel it
Confide in me, don't resent it
'Cause I can't stop you from the fire
I'll fulfill your desires for you [5x]
[2x]

 

I chose this track because the song itself fits in well with the idea that I have in mind for my music video. It allows dancing to be more interpretive, and I can use various camera shots, angles and movements to keep the audience intrigued. It has varying beats and pace, with the chorus being faster than the verses and the beat is stronger in the chorus as well - this will allow for effective post production effects (such as slow motion and rewinding of shots) and will make the video more creative, and not just a performance based video. The beginning and the end of the song are also quite slow, which would allow for an introduction to the location and the artist before the song begins, and also a 'goodbye', where the artist can retreat from the camera shots or can show the video is finished by slowing down the dancing and stopping altogether.
In regards to casting for my video, I would need a young female - around 19 years old (or looks that age), with dark hair. She must be able to dance interpretively and in comtemporary style - these are the styles that I think fits best the track and with the feelings I want to instill in my music video. The video will be a performance based video, with the artist dancing and lip singing throughout. She will be the only person in the video.
Because there won't be anyone else present in the video, when the lyrics suggest she is talking to someone (such as in the verses with "I can help you run away for good", "'Cause I can't stop you from the fire") and so when she lip sings a lot of the time she will be facing the camera and looking into it; this way the audience can feel more involved with her, and maybe feel it's more personal - like what she's singing about is just between them and the artist.
