Song Choice (Preliminary Task)

To give us a starting point we were given a list of seven songs which we had to narrow down to three and then pick a final song from. On the right is our final three choices: Of monsters and men, Miley Cyrus and Men without hats. We chose party in the USA because it is upbeat and would have been easy to come up with an idea for as it doesn't have a strong of a narrative so we would have probably shown a band and singer. Little talks was more because of the opposite as its narrative is key to the song, which we could use to create a story from, though we felt this could get complicated. The safety dance was in our top 3 because it has a quick tempo and an understandable narrative.
The two stimuli we thought we could link to these songs were carrots can help you see in the dark, this was because we felt it linked to childhood and imagination or myths. The day at the seaside we thought would fit as a location and starting point for party in the USA.

Initial Ideas

I have to so initial ideas, they are similar ideas but based around two different songs. I like to mind map my ideas because this means i can link parts together and getting everything down on paper before I start adapting it. One of the main parts of mise en scene that I want to focus on more than the others is camera angles. This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Song Choice

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.
