So Danni and I have finally decided on what song we want to do for our music video! :D
In the end, we have gone with 'Punch-Drunk Love' by The Summer Set. We liked the idea of using The Summer Set as with both of their songs, that we were contemplating, didn't already have a music video unlike All American Rejects'. This for us was a real plus. We wanted to possibly avoid using a song that already had a music video as we know for a start that ours wouldn't be able to live up to the original. Secondly, and more importantly, we could find our selfs tempted to copy aspects from the original that worked well and we enjoyed. This way with using one of The Summer Set's songs (Punch-Drunk Love or Passenger Seat) we avoided these problems, giving us our own imaginative pallet to work on and made sure we weren't swayed into portraying the song in the same way they had.
Danni and I found that personally we liked the sound of The Summer Sets music as it had an upbeat and fun sound. It felt like when we listened to their songs (Punch-Drunk Love in particular) our ideas for a music video didn't stop.
Once we had narrowed down the songs to these two, we listened to them done acoustically. Although we enjoyed them we were worried that with an acoustic version there was less 'get up and go' in the songs and we would lose audience's interest in the video.
We found that we liked the sound of the lead singer (Brain Dales) voice which inspired us to think it would look good with actors mining.
We decided on Punch-drunk Love on the fact that we had more solid ideas for it and that we could work performance and narrative well into it.
We are really happy with our song and can't wait to work on it :)
