Today, me and the rest of our group set out to find a genre and songs in which we like and would turn into our video. We sat down and discussed the music we like, which i knew before we sat down as i know the people in my group very well. We were thinking between pop and indie music but came to the mutual agreement to do indie. There were numerous reasons as to why we chose indie:
- Pop music seems more upbeat and watching other pop videos, it would cost more to film.
- We wanted to focus on narrative and make a strong story which was clear, which we thought would be challenging.
- We would probably need more actors and locations as well as a suitable narrative. This would be hard as hardly anyone wanted to be in it anyway and we struggled thinking of a narrative and location.
We felt that indie music would be easier to do as it required less money and we didn't want to pay a lot. We then went onto separate computers and looked through different songs in the genre. Originally, we were going to do Ratboy's Sign On but with a discussion with our teacher, we agreed that it was too fast and the lyrics were too literal and would be hard to film. In turn, we decided to pick Arctic Monkey's Fluorescent Adolescent as it's slower but still indie and well known, allowing us to easily recruit a lip singer when it comes to actually filming.
