Issues with the song: we need Another song choice

The group and I feel that after watching videos such as Pixie Lott's Boys and Girls, Cher Lloydd's With Ur Love it is clear our video would not realistically be able to create a pop video on our budget and in this time limit. We feel if we were to continue with this song we would make a music video that we wouldn't be proud of and could look amature rather than having the professional music video feel.We  also feel our ideas for the video will not be possible to create as we can not film a party scene as the locations we could use are not big enough the residents would not be happy with the party. We would also have a problems filming as we would not be able to control 15 people. We would also not be able to film the party scenes as other people in the class will be using the cameras and in order to get the shots we need we would need to film using at least 2 camera. The lighting would also be an issue as we would be filming in the street in the dark. The lighting would be bad and it would create a bad quality of film.

This is why we have decided to change the song.

New Song Choice

We have chosen to use Put Your Hands Up by Alex Roots as the track for our music video. She is an unknown artist and the song is fun and upbeat.

Changing the Song

We have just found out that we are going to have to change our idea as we can not do a song by a well know artist. The Saturdays have an image which we may not be able to distance our ideas from so we are going to have to find a new song.

Top 3 Song choices

My top 3 song choices would be:

1. The Saturdays - Open Up
I think the video could be really interesting, I already have several idea for a concept and the song has a great pace that would be great for editing shots to. I really like the idea of the artist arriving home and then trying to convince her boyfriend to let her in.

2. Aly and Aj - Potential Break-up Song
I think this song has so much potential for a really interesting video. The pace of the song changes through ou the song so the possibilities are wide open.

3. Ed Sheeran - Small Bump
This is such a beautiful and touching song so it would be hard work to create a music video that would match the song, however I think if it was done right it would be an amazing music video.

Song choice

This is our list of songs we are choosing from

• Crash-Matt Willis
• Potential Break-up song- Ally and Aj
• Lego House- Ed Sheeran
• Move Along- All-American Rejects
• Lights-Ellie Goulding
• It's Only Life- Kate Voegle
• Open Up-The Saturdays
• Put your Hands Up- Alex Roots

We like all of these songs and we are currently brainstorming ideas for each song in order to find the best track we can make a great video for.
