Three potential songs for our music video

1) Alt-J
BreezeBlocks



The vision for the song is very indie yet a very dark angle (modern day witch-hunting) can be created due to the quirky feel of the song, hence a narrative would be used.

Pros:
- the change of beat of the song can create good opportunities for editing and different techniques.
- the lyrics used are very indie and quirky and therefore random clips can relate to the words sung,        whilst keeping a narrative throughout.
- repetition of certain beats and the chorus also gives a great opportunity for editing techniques, but also for lip syncing

Cons:
-could be too 'random' to have a stable narrative story throughout, could have too much of a cliché narrative
-maybe to repetitive which could bore the audience
-male vocal, which could cause a problem by having to either find a male participant willing to lip sync, or to try and make the 'lip sync-er' androgynous

2)Daughter
Youth



The vision for this song would be a montage of clips which would be random yet link to create a narrative, possibly a love story between a young couple, and however close they get they still push each other away.

Pros:
-steady beat for narrative 
-very indie allowing a montage of 'random' clips
- steady beat allowing for good editing in time, showing professionalism
-girl singing so there would be no trouble in looking for an actress
-links between the clips and the lyrics would be easy to create  

Cons:
-negative connotations within the lyrics which could be hard to make the audience 'feel' the song
-the beat doesn't change as much as the song above, so any changes would not be as shocking, which the song is quite powerful and could possibly need the shock factor to make an impact

3) Sia
Breathe me 



This song can create a huge impact already with the song alone. The cliche route to take with this song would be loneliness, possibly bullying, yet we would again use a montage of clips of a happy girl, yet these clips would be memories. A narrative wouldn't work very well as it would be hard to steer from the cliche route.

Pros:
-easy to make an impact with the song as lyrics are powerful
-easy to link clips and lyrics
-woman singing, so easy to find actress

Cons:
-very steady beat so not much room to create an impact with editing techniques
-strong lyrics which could difficult to represent with impact and not cheese 'help i have done it again'
