Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - Official Music Video - Version 1 Page

Kate Bush's is the studio-based promotional film for her 1978 debut single. Although labeled as "Version 1" on her official YouTube channel, it was actually the second of two videos filmed for the track, created with a larger budget than the outdoor "red dress" version. Key Features of Version 1

: This version was directed by Keith "Keef" MacMillan , who became a long-term collaborator for her early career.

: It was filmed in early 1978 specifically to be shown on music programs like Top of the Pops once the song entered the charts.

: The video utilizes classic 1970s visual effects, including gauzy filters, multiple exposures, and hazy lighting gels to create a haunting atmosphere. Production Facts

: Kate Bush performs in a dark, studio room filled with thick white mist. She wears a flowy white dress and deep black eyeliner, looking ethereal and "ghostly".

: Inspired by her work with Lindsay Kemp , Bush developed the dance moves to suggest she is the ghost of Cathy from Emily Brontë's novel.

: Version 2 (the first one filmed) features Bush in a red dress dancing outdoors at Baden's Clump on Salisbury Plain , which was originally intended for the American market.
