Possible Band Choices

Below are some possible bands that our group decided would be good to make a music video for:
* Example - 'Fast Cars'
* Lady Antebellum - 'Need You Now'
* 30 Seconds To Mars - 'Beautiful Lie'
* Pink - 'Runaway'
* Katy Perry - 'Teenage Dream'
* Beyonce - 'Halo'
* The Script - 'For The First Time'
* Christina Aguilera - 'Oh Mother'
* Florence and the Machine - 'Dog Days Are Over'

Our group all thought that these bands all could have a potential to make a good music video. However, when discussing some of the music choices further our group realised that some would be better than others. For example Beyonce's song 'Halo' was a very slow paced song that already has a well known video, by an international well known artist. Therefore, if we made our own video to this song it would be hard to try, to not copy or remake Beyonce's video. Also the video by Florence and the Machine is a very good and unusual video and I dont not think we would be able to live up to the fans expectations.
Our group also thought of doing Example - Fast Cars. As this song is not very well known this could be an advantage for our group. The fact that the song has both a female and male singers this could allows us to show both a male and female perspective in our music video.
Finally, we eventually decided to do Katy Perry's - Tennage Dream. This song is a pop genre and as soon as our group started to discuss potential ideas we all felt that this song has given us alot of inspiration for our music video.

Final Music Song Choice

Today, we finally decided that we were going to do Katy Perry's - Teenage Dream as our song for the music video.



Not only do I like this song but, the I like that tempo of the song changes in the verses and chorus therefore allowing us to change the pace of the music video. The whole group is happy with the song choice and have already got lot's of inspiration for our own music video.

Discussion For Our Music Video

Today in lesson we began discussing what genre/song we wanted to do for our music video. It was hard to pick a genre that we all agreed on as individually we all had our own tastes and ideas that we thought would make a good music video.
Some suggestions of genres/songs were:

-Lady Antebellum - Need You Now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfsZyYPLoI&ob=av2e

- Example - Kickstarts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9yGcKlYAiw

- Beyonce - Halo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcMmRL6_r24&ob=av2e

However, we were not able to decided exactly what song we wanted to do, but we did eventually decided that a pop song would be the best genre for us to make our music video from.
