Initial Plans

I plan to create a music video for a song that is within the genre of indie rock. I have chosen this because it is a genre I am very familiar with, it being a personal favourite of mine and I feel I will be able to do a better job with a song I like.

My initial plan was to create a music video for Paramore's "Still Into You" and already had ideas for shots, props and costumes. However, I came to realise that my ideas were very closely based off of the actual music video for this song. So I have decided to completely change is and go for a song that I like but have not seen the official music video for.

Below is a list I made of possible songs for my music video:


As you can see from the blue asterixs, I chose "Fader" by The Temper Trap and "Short Change Hero" by The Heavy as my top two favourites. I decided to go with the song "Fader" by Temper Trap and see if I can come up with some good ideas to go with the song for my music video. This song is very upbeat, catchy and at a pace that would be entirely possible and quite fun to edit in time with. The song is heard-of without it being overplayed. Most importantly, I have not seen the music video to this song and plan to keep it that way so that my ideas will be fresh and entirely my own creation.

However, I plan on using "Short Change Hero" as my backup incase I wish to change my song.
