Music Video Research

At the beginning we were very unsure how to pursue this task as the were many good music videos to the songs we picked; consequently it was quite difficult to create a music video from scratch without imitating the video in some way. we narrowed our list to the three best videos from three different genres

so we came up with:

- Kesha-Tik Tok

however, for this video as it was a new release the video was very fitting to the song so we wouldn't be able to create a video as good. so we removed this from our shortlist.

- Beyonce- Single Ladies

This is a performative video and the song itself best fits this style of video

also this is a very common song and we wouldn't to be unable to meet its

standards

- Michael Jackson- thriller

The thriller video is one of the greatest music videos of all time of course its a great song

also however, its virtually impossible to reincarnate anything of its calibre.

Consequently, this left us no alternative but to find a new track altogether. we had no specific tracks in mind nonetheless, my group and I didn't want an R'n'B track as it was very common and there were set conventions to that style so it wouldn't permit us to be very creative with filming. So we narrowed our genres to either Rock or Indie. This was uncommon and not as popular as RnB and hip hop however, we new we could be original with our filming if we chose a track from this genre. we spent a few lessons listening to tracks and scouring the net for a track. then one lesson came and Lilian suggested One republic- Apologize (the orginal pre-timberland).

as group we listened to it and then agreed finally on this track.
