Additional Group Ideas

Although we all shared ideas on songs which we would bring to our group i know very little about the songs apart from what i have been told and what i have learnt from the Music videos themselves as well as a small amount of research.

The first option made by my group members for our song choice was a song called “I Don’t Mind” by the hardcore band Defeater. The lyrics in the song are descriptive which means we could act out the lyrics to the song as if it is a story. It also has a decent plotline for a narrative music video. Using various different cuts and pans in the music video, we can easily create the correct atmosphere for the purpose of the music video. The only downside is we would have to travel to several different locations to shoot each scene/shot, which will be very time consuming and we would have to organise transport and get the shots right the first time, which would but a lot of added pressure to the whole process. If we made a mistake or missed a shot it could potential ruin the shoot so we would have to return to the location again, causing more unneeded hassle. Click here for link...

The second group choice is “Pick Up The Phone” by metalcore band Falling in Reverse. Similar to the lyrics of the first option "I Don’t Mind",  the previous song, the lyrics in this song resemble that of a story. There is also plenty of humorous content that can be added to the song and make it funnier. The setting for the storyline would be simple to produce and we wouldn’t have to go too far out of our way to find some great locations to shoot at. (A house would do fine.) Although, this would possibly appear too simple, as we want to present some creativity within the production of the video. Click here for link...

The last group song choice is "Don’t Ask" by an indie band called Blood Red Shoes. This music video would be a fair amount harder to produce if we were to attempt a narrative music video. The lyrics are rather repetitive, although we would not have to include the stereotypical pop conventions which could lead to a very creative and unique video. Click here for link...
