Iconography...

Different aspects of iconography which I thought related to the theme of my music video are listed below...
''Flower Power''
Unfortunately my group and I do not have access to a prop so exclusive the 60s/70s hippie period however I think it would be interesting to film random vehicles that don't look like ordinary cars and are specific to a different time period like the 70s as it will highlight the change of different things not just technology over time. 

I think this would be an interesting picture to include in the mise-en-scene of one of our scenes as it will emphasise the theme of our audience and highlight the differences we are pointing out to the audience.

''Retro Bike''
I thought using a retro bike would be really good for my music video because it contrasts the differences in transports because in today's day everyone would rather have a car than a bike, but in the 70s it was the other way around because everyone was more interested in saving the planet. I also think it would be good to film the singer on one of these as well as on a Boris bike to emphasise the difference and how bikes are slowly becoming more fashionable again. 

''Peace''
There are many different signifiers which symbolise peace however this is the most obvious, I think it would be a good idea to subliminally fit little props containing this sign into the music video such as a piece of jewellery which has the sign on. 
I have seen several bracelets containing the peace sign and I think it would be a good idea to have a close up of the singer playing her guitar with the peace sign in full view in order to highlight one of the main icons of the 70s. 

''Flying Birds''
Another signifier which symbolises peace is a flock of doves but doves aren't very common in London so I would like to include a flock of pigeons flying in the sky in my music video to represent peace.
