Choosing My Song
In this blog I'm going to write about the process I went through to pick the write song for my A2 music video task, I'm going to explain why I chose this song and why I believe its the right song for me to do. Both songs that I have looked at are Pop therefore more mainstream and the type of music that I like therefore have a high understanding of this genre.
Everything Has Changed- By Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift
When I first got given the project of music video I though that Everything has changed by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift was the best song chose for me, I knew the song very well, I had ideas to make it work and the story line of the song meant that I could explore with different ideas very well. As it is a love song it also meant that I could use more that one main character meaning I could use a male and female that I felt would work well, I cast two of my friends to be the main characters and though that they could have a on screen relationship and show the journey of them falling in love.
As I started to plan more it became clear to me that I wasn't going to be able to achieve all the things I wanted to do, as the video that goes with the song is a shinny Hollywood production it meant that I couldn't on any level achieve the same things, also the way the song went would mean that I would have to be a shinny Hollywood production company with a lot of funds- which I didn't have. Therefore I left this song to try and find one that would be better for someone with limited funds and resources.
Royals- By Lorde
After debating many different songs I decided to go for Royals By Lorde. I chose this song as its new out in 2013 so its got a modern twist that would let me experiment and make up new ideas for the music video. The song itself is very diverse meaning that I could go in any direction with my music video which gave me confidence to come up with new and different ideas. The song is also aimed and sung by a teenager, Lorde Herself is 17 (the same age as me) this means that I could use this as a link between the music and video. I have felt this song has worked well for my music video letting me experiment with my music video.
