Choosing A Song

RUBY:

The process of choosing a song was one of the hardest because it was hard knowing that which ever song we chose would be the basis of our grade. We wanted to choose a song which we both knew and liked, therefore we stayed away from genres that we are unfamiliar with e.g. rock. 

Whilst listening to the song we had to imagine what our music video would look like. This then eliminated some possible songs that we had. We also had to be realistic, there would be no room for a full blown dance routine because we did not have the people to do this, we could not have things like giant letters or lights as we do not have the resources.

Once we chose a song, something that we had to avoid was copying the official video as we had both seen this, we did not want to be influenced by this. Our first idea was influenced by the official video as we copied the elements of her going on a journey (on a train) and her walking in fields. 

When we had chose a song, we had to make sure that the possible people we were thinking of having in our video would fit the bill. For us, this meant having a female singer with the indie look.
