Songs We Considered

When it came to choosing the song that we would use for our music video we quickly decided that a song from the Indie genre would suit us best. Myself and my group members listen the that style of music so firstly we made a list of the band that we enjoy to listen to. The songs that we came up with (below) all include instrument playing, rather than the use of synthesisers (aelectronic instrument capable of producing sounds by generating electrical signals of different frequencies and can also imitate other instruments). This is helpful as it would enable us to show the band 'playing' the music to create an entertaining visual for the audience.

1) Vampire weekend - A-punk
2) The Kooks - Matchbox
3) The Hoosiers - Choices 
4) Kid British - Elizebeth
5) Razorlight - Somewhere Else       
6) Razorlight - America         
7) Snow Patrol - Run       
    8) Snow Patrol - You Could Be Happy         


After listening to each song and brain storming on possible ideas and themes, we finally decided upon Snow Patrol - 'You Could Be Happy'.

The interesting thing about this song it that it does not have a music video available which allows for a 100% un influenced production when it comes to making ideas our own. Having no image association link with our song is a big advantage to us because there will be no 'comparison' of our video to an existing music video.
