Song Choices

To come up with a final song to make a music video for we came up with an initial list, and then reasoned the good and bad points that they would have when making a video for them.

Chosen Video:  

The Enemy - Like A Dancer This was our favourite possible option for our song choice as we thought it had quite narrative lyrics, so it would make it easier when filming the music video. The music is very upbeat throughout it which means we need something on going on all the time. The band already have quite a basic video for the song; live footage of them performing the song, so we can be quite original with what we produce.

Rejected Videos:
Jake Bugg - Two fingers Our initial thoughts on this song were good as we thought we could easily come up with a video to go with the lyrics but as this song already has a video it may actually be difficult. We'd find it hard to make a video different to the one it has already.

Arctic Monkeys - Brainstorm We would have liked to have had a shot at making a music video for this song, but we thought it would be hard finding people willing to star in it and who would pretend to be in a band and carry out Arctic Monkeys style.

Rudimental - Feel The Love We thought we'd look at a song a lot different to our previous choices. It would be a good song to make a music video for but as its  more of an upbeat dance tune, finding people and locations to be for the video may be hard. A club would be an ideal place to shoot the video but its highly unlikely that we would be able to get the permission to film in one.

Florence And The Machine - Spectrum Really like the song and would enjoy making a video but to imitate one of Florence's videos would probably be quite expensive as most of her videos are high quality. Also, she stars in a lot of them so trying to find someone to act like her may be hard.

Kasabian - Goodbye Kiss This is quite a mellow song and so would be quite simple to film a story to but at the same time, it was more up beat than other songs that we had looked at. This would mean we'd need slightly different scenes included which give it that extra edge to make sure it goes a long with the music. We would also have to do ours completely different to the bands official video as they only seem to have themselves performing the song at a concert.
