Research and planning: Music video concepts.

There are some key concepts that I wish to be able to capture in my music video.
I want it to have a 'home-made' look to it, so it's simple and almost minimalistic. A lot of the shots will be taken using hand held camera. This makes it seems as though it is effortless, even though it does take a lot of work to get the right effect with hand held. Another feature I would like to use is to have many close ups of the artist singing along with the song, or just mid close ups of her playing guitar as well as singing to it.
There are some other shots that I want to look as though they are spontaneous and not planned, such as shots of her laughing, or even just talking etc; shots that you wouldn't be able to get the right effect on if they were planned in advance. This may be a problem when it comes to drawing up the storyboard, but I can always change it to fit what we have filmed.
Ideally, I would like the shots to line up with the rhythm of the song, and to cut on particular beats. I don't want this to happen throughout the whole song as it would look too robotic. I think this effect would work well in the opening of the song, the chorus and perhaps the outro.
