Ideas which were discussed.

When it came to deciding upon Genres, Settings, Actors and most initally the actual Song which we would use for our video, my group discovered many issues due to mixed opinions upon which genre would be the most appropriate. We were tied between the more rock aspects which kirstin would prefer and the pop side of the music industry which was more aquired to that of jodis taste. I myself have wide aspect of music passion and therefore was open to pretty much anything, however i did try to suggest possibly looking at an indie alternative band such as that of The Kooks or Paolo Nutini. However there was issues with trying to think of actors who we could use to fill these parts and how we would attempt to portray the messages fo these songs to the audience on a low budget. Another issue with these perticular bands were many of their songs were slow and lacked a continuous upbeat rhythm which we could use to pace ourselves upon and also other memebers of our group ( jodi) were not so familiar with their work and therefore did not feel comfortable withgoing forward with this idea.

Example of the work of 'The Kooks' and 'Paolo Nutini' which we did asses as possibilitys to use for our music video.

The Kooks- Naive.

The Kooks- Shine On.

Paolo Nutini-Last request.

Paolo Nutini-New shoes.

These were the main indie alternative, songs which we looked at however there were a few more which were bought up in conversation but not really assed but more or less dropped upon being mentioned.

As mentioned kirstin prefered the more rock genre of the music world and therefore did ask we looked at trying to do a paramore video, which i myself wouldn't of minded due to having a strong love for this band however we did struggle with trying to look at how exactly we would film this genre as most aspects would involve the more 'in the band' aspect in which we would need a small group playing instruments along with. The song which kirstin was rather interested in doing was:

Paramore- That's what you get.

Furthermore jodi has a passion for the pop genre of the music world and therefore we assesed artists of this genre of which we looked at artists such as kelly clarkson and avril lavigne due to jodi feeling these were artists which she knew of and incorperated a cross over pop rock genre. The songs which we assesed were as follows.

Avril Lavigne- When your gone.

Kelly Clarkson- Because of you

Kelly Clarkson- Behind these hazel eyes

The three of these videos were deeply thought about however we felt that because of you would be the best video to use due to the fact we felt the message would be easier to portray to our audience for this reason we chose because of you over the other two videos.
