Song Choice

In a group of me, Daria, Carla and Harry, we brought our ideas together with the intention of choosing one for our video.


Daria

Pavrov Stellar - Clap Your Hands: This idea involved taking advantage of the blend of electronic music and jazz in the track. There would be a dance-off between two groups of dancers, one made up of young, cool teenagers and the other made up of older, Fred Astaire style tap-dancers and cabaret dancers.

Ned (Me)

My Chemical Romance - Teenagers: See here for details.

Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For the Wicked: See here for details.

Harry

Maverick Sabre - I Need: A narrative video about a physically disabled ex-sportsman, reflecting on his life and struggling with his disability.

John Newman - Love Me Again: A video about a young couple running through a forest, away from some unknown threat.

Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi: Having passed out, a man wakes up in a huge water tank slowly filling up with water. He slowly accepts his death as the tank fills up with water.

                                                                            Carla 

Woodkid - Iron: A man with a baseball bat (or possibly a sword), walks through a village to a specific location to commit a murder/assassination. Black and White and interspersed with a blacksmith making a sword.

Go Radio - Goodnight Moon: A video showing lots of different types of couples falling in love and fighting and having problems, etc.



Lots of these ideas were developed and changed just through discussion, the three ideas which gained the most popularity were Teenagers, Iron and Pursuit of Happiness. As a group, we voted on it and decided to go with the idea for Iron by Woodkid. We discussed the possibility of changing the setting of the video to a more medieval time period. That way we could explore the Gothic imagery. It also fitted more with the song.
