Initial Song Ideas

Initial song ideas

After deciding upon creating a music video for my project I started looking for potential songs I could use.

Here are some of the songs I may use for my music video;

To Build A Home - Cinemactic Orchestra.

This song was my first port of call because it is one of my favourite songs and the song in itself is very adabtable because there aren't any lyrics in it. Therefore, it would be easy to create a good narrative for the video.

However, I decided against this song because I thought it may a little too challenging as because of the little amount of lyrics in the song it may become boring and repetitive- and because it is an orchestration it may not appeal to as many people as a more popular contemporary song would.

Good Morning Sunshine - Alex Day

The first song I looked at would be described as 'chill out' music and I wanted to look at all genres of music before actually deciding on a final song. I thought of this song because the person who wrote and performed the song is an independent musician therefore I thought it would be easier to get the rights of the song. Another reason I thought this song could be potential for my music video because the song is very 'bright' and upbeat.

The reason I decided not to do this song is because I  enjoyed the 'official video' too much and I found it hard picturing different ways I could adapt the song. Also because the song has a naraative in the lyrics that also went with the video and I didn;t want to feel as if I was copying the offical video.

                                              

This Kiss - Alex Day (feat. Carrie Hope Fletcher)

This song is again by the same artist as 'Good Morning Sunshine' and again my reasoning for him being an independent artist is why I chose this song. Along with the other reason I also loved the cover of the song 'This Kiss' and I think with this song I could adapt it easily and give a good narrative/performance to the video.

Gabrielle Aplin - Home

This is the song I am going to use for my music video. I decided to use this song because Gabrielle Aplin is again an independent musician and I thought it would be easier to get permission. And the genre of her music suited the style of music video we wanted to create.
