BW: Three Primary Research Tracks

Song - This Is The Life > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ed8NBPmits
Artist/Group - Two Door Cinema Club
Album - Tourist History

I find this song to be suitable because it fits into the time boundaries and I also feel that a music video for this song is easily within our group's capability to make. The beats in the song are easily clear enough to create targets for certain cuts. The song is also fast paced which means it should be easy to get into it for a music video. The music gave me a simple idea for a group of friends simply having fun on a regular weekend. The idea was to show a regular set of close friends having a good time, which would fit in nicely with the title and lyrics of "This Is The Life". To be more specific I had the idea of the friends at a theme park, playing football, playing FIFA, and more. The idea in a nutshell, was to show that you may only really need a few close friends to be happy. Think about it, Snow White had it sorted with seven dwarfs. 


Song - If So > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GNuYcsEIv0
Artist/Group - Atlas Genius
Album - Through the Glass

This song fits within the time boundaries which is one way that it is suitable. My idea for this song would have required some footage from news companies of the London riots as the lyrics say "Everybody's taking what they can but they can't decide
 They do what they want to 'cause any kind of feeling's alright"
I feel that these lyrics can easily be applied to the London riots as rioters were literally looting and taking whatever they can, without any feeling or consideration for the shopkeepers. I also imagined a couple walking alone in a town possibly thinking about what they perceive to be a degenerate society. The loneliness of the couple amplify the lyrics of "We'll be walking lonely tonight", and could also suggest that there's less and less people with much morality these days. I don't really believe this but it's what I interpreted the song to be saying. A potential problem is that I don't know whether we're allowed to use other people's footage or if the whole thing has to be our footage. Also because the song is very slow it may be difficult to get properly enthusiastic about the process of making it. 


Song - Twisted Soul > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg_qEtk1Dj0
Artist/Group - Pint Shot Riot
Album - Spell it Out

Again this song fits the time boundaries which is one way that it's suitable, but this song is bottom of my preferred list out of the three songs. My idea for this would be mostly performance based with a band. But there would also be occasional shots of a girl who represents this 'Twisted Soul'. The theme would be that this couple has just broken up after an argument. There would be a shot of the girl and her boyfriend arguing, synonymous with the lyrics of "broken promises, pretend request, well that's what you used to that's what you do best". The girl, possibly in an act of revenge, starts breaking things around a house, demonstrating this 'twisted soul' of hers.
