The first choice is "Bloodstream" by Firehorse. This song has a simple flow with lyrics where we can apply Goodwin's features such as the lyrics "tick, tick, tick" where we plan to have a closeup of a watch with 3 shots on each "tick". The song also has a 80s synth -like sound to it which caught our attention as it allowed us to be creative by making it modern. There is also a modulation to a minor key towards the end which allows us to add a twist in the music video or to change the music video in an exciting way as the modulation is so sudden and it changes to a strong minor key.
The strengths of this song is that we as our group all like the song making it easier for us to develop ideas and work as a team. Also, the song can be easily used for many different videos due to the versatility of the music. Another strength is that the modulation from major to minor allows us to add a plot twist to the video of sort. As well as this the song is in 4/4 time so when editing the music video it will be easier as 4/4 is common in many songs heard daily so we will be able to edit on beat with ease rather than editing to a 6/8 beat.
This song has few weaknesses however the song is simplistic so in order to make it interesting many cuts and plot devices will be required to keep the momentum of the song.
The second choice is "Time Machine". This song is different to the first however its indie charm and character makes it a strong contender. The lyrics force us into a box however as in order to fit the song we would have to use a low-key lighting, grunge costume and sepia pallets. Due to there being no direct way of contacting the artist we are deterred from choosing this song.
Some strengths of this song include the likeability of the song due to the relaxed indie genre.
Some weakness of this song include the lack of interesting "plot twists". The song has no strong change which is important to us as we need to make the video interesting and exciting.
As we were adamant we were going to use the first song, "Bloodstream", we stopped looking and began planning our video ideas for the song as quick as we could
Can you give me some idea as to what the songs are actually about?
