To begin with we found it quite difficult to come up with any substantial ideas for a final music video, but after referring back to some earlier student videos and pairing them with some tracks that we liked, the creative juices started to flows.
What we had to take into consideration, was that the chosen song could not be too popular, this was what we came up with....
Green day- Are we the waiting
This song was chosen as the song has no video but is a well put together song that we could have strongly linked a narrative to the song. The problem we had with this song was firstly it was two song mixed together for the original album. The reason this was a problem is because the two songs sound slightly different and therefore would require two different narratives or perspectives for one video. This would be putting a lot of work into narrative and because of this it would have affected the overall quality of the video as a whole. As well as this the song is from Green Days American Idiot album which is a story in itself and an extremely popular and well known album. This was a problem because we would be re telling a story in our own way and this would have made the video lose authenticity.

Imagine Dragon- Radio Active (Feat Kendrick Lamar)
We chose this song as the original track is one that you could include good narrative but the video as a whole would have had an interesting twist at the part when Kendrick Lamar started rapping on top of the original track. The problem with doing this song is that the Kendrick Lamar rap is so quick and there would be so many lyrics to learn in such a little amount of time and even if we did learn the lyrics the lip syncing would be a struggle to do.
