Each person in my group has been asked to pick three songs that they would like to do for our music video. The other two people in my group are Nathan Kearns and Michael Hickey. After we pick our three songs we will each narrow them down to one song choice each and then go through the pro's and con's of each song and then decide which song we will use.
The first song that I have chosen is Pompeii by Bastille. I used this song as my second lip sync video and believe it is one I will be comfortable with if I am put on camera. I also believe it is a nice upbeat song that my group can have fun with when it comes to directing the video and editing it. I also think that we can make a unique video from this song if we base our video on the lyrics of the song.
This is a popular song as it is a recent song that is played a lot on the radio. This shows that if we chose to this song it is a song the audience will like and will enjoy watching just on the song alone. This gives my group a good base to work on to make our video unique and enjoyable.
The second song that I have chosen is Take me to church by Hozier. This song was released last year and is one I have been listening to constantly since I first heard it. I think that this song would be enjoyable to do and I have already thought about how we could it. I already know the message that Hozier was trying to make through this song, giving me a good idea how to create our music video based around the song.
We would only need to shoot in three locations to make this music video look professional. They would be in a church, a bedroom and a park. This would not take long to film and the editing would not be time consuming either. So I think this would be the perfect choice as it is the type of slow paced song that the rest of my group said they would like to do, with a really catchy chorus.
The final song that I would like to do is Demons by Imagine Dragons. This is a song that starts slow paced like the way that my group want the song to be. But it kicks in during the chorus which I think is needed in a slow paced song to make it more enjoyable.
This is a song that is popular at the moment as the band are releasing songs frequently. I think this song would be very enjoyable for my group to do because it is a song I know we all enjoy, it is just down to the fact of how we will base our music video around this song.
After looking at each of the three songs that I have chosen, I have decided that the song that I have narrowed it down to will be Take me to church by Hozier. This is because it is the only song that I have an idea of how to make the video around the song and how to make is successful. Also because this song fits the criteria of the type of song that my group said that they wanted to do, it is now just down to doing the pro's and con's of doing this song against the songs that they others in the group put forward. But I really do hope that we decide to do this song because I know I can make this song look professional whilst enjoying the video making experience.
Hi Connor, great discussion going on here and analyse of the variants in the music styles/ genres and videos. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHaving the actual videos embedded creates a strong sense of knowledge and confidence in the video you want to make and the shots/ storyboard you want to create.
Just ensure you keep your media language skills as high end as possible. Discuss styles and shots etc warm mood, abstract style, etc. Now maybe create a mood board of these styles of the three songs you have chosen.
Good stuff so far and I look forward to your developments and extension on this blog post.
I have embedded the videos, I decided to not talk about the way that the music videos are flimed as my group would prefer to make our video from our own ideas.
