“Lotuses in Hinduism symbolize prosperity, beauty, fertility, eternity and eternal youth.”
“In Buddhism, lotus flowers mean purity of speech, mind and body rising above the waters of desire and attachment.”
I have chosen to use Lotus flowers in the music video because of the connotations with religions. These connotations link to my music video and the lyrics, for example, when she sings “and I'd be such a fool to stay unfree” she is saying that she would be a 'fool' to get attached to someone or something, so this then links with the Buddhism's 'rising above the waters of desire and attachment.'
'Bitter sweet chase ain't the food I eat.' When these lyrics are sung, i'm going to have a shot of my two girls with tape over there mouths reading 'bitter sweet' this again links with Purity of speech, because they are unable to say the bad words.
I have also chosen to use two young girls aged seventeen. The use of young people connotes eternal youth, and beauty which are lotus symbols of Hinduism.
A blue lotus flower means wisdom, knowledge and victory over the senses.
I am using a blue Lotus in my video, this especially links with the lyrics “bigger fish to fry then that well posed pride.” because she is using her wisdom to forget about pride.. she believes there are better things in the world other than pride and status.
