In this blog post, I will be including 3 songs I believe would be good song choices to use in my final product (and their already established music videos) due to the fact I believe they suit the music genre I want to be portraying/representing in my final product, and include conventions I think link quite well to both the genre and music videos in general.
The first song/music video I have included is to the song "Avocado, Baby" by the Welsh, six-piece indie pop band 'Los Campesinos!', directed by actor Craig Roberts (Submarine, Bad Neighbors, 22 Jump Street). The reason I am considering using this song is that it has quite an upbeat, catchy tune, yet depressing and cynical lyrics which I believe would be something quite interesting to portray in a music video. As well as this, the music video itself uses an unedited, single take for the entirety of its runtime, showing itself to be a well-made video with lots of thought gone into it, making it challenge to possibly create a final product that matches the original. Finally, the song itself would be a good one to match both the story and performance parts of the video.
The second song/music video I have included is to the song "Not Drowning but Waving" by Oxford, 5-piece guitar band 'Spring Offensive', starring actor Matt Stokoe (Misfits, The Village). The reason that I am considering using this song is that it mixes harmonies with dark lyrics and rhythms, creating a dark tone that again would be interesting to portray in a music video but also script and act out something that matches the tone. As well as this, the song itself has a slow build, meaning for more chance for the music video to grow bigger as the music does.
The final song/music video I have included is the song "Momentum" by Dancing Lotus feat. 2 Deep. The reason I am considering using this song is that it combines different music genres such as alternative, hip hop, rock, and rap, which would add diversity to our final product and be fun to play out. As well as this, the song also uses a variety of musical instruments such as guitars, violins, drums and a choir which we could use in our final product, adding more to the conventions of a real music video, giving our music video an added depth of professionalism.
