(Edited 07/07/17) Possible Songs

All of these songs are by unsigned artists.

Any Shape - Aby Wolf

A positive aspect of this song is its clear beat which would make synchronised editing much easier. Furthermore, there are defined sections (verse/chorus) with different paces which would create opportunities for a music video to be more varied and therefore more interesting. The song also has a clear hybrid genre of electronic-pop, so a music video could be made including generic conventions. The song is an optimum length, not too short or too long, which would allow a creative music video to be made evidencing my skills without the need for excessive filler.

Eat a Lemon Tart - Merk

This indie-pop song has the potential for a quirky music video, as is typical of the genre. One of the disadvantages is that the song is shorter than average which could inhibit my ability to display a range of skills in my music video. Another disadvantage is that, although there are defined sections of verse/chorus, the song does sound slightly repetitive (perhaps due to its short length).

Relax - Backyard Dreaming
There are many conventions of indie rock music videos which could be employed in a music video for this song, for example the instrumentation which can be heard (including drums, guitar, etc.) would provide an opportunity for elements of performance within the video. However, a disadvantage of this song is that it is quite slow. Furthermore, it is longer than a recommended length of 3.30. On the other hand, an advantage is that there are differentiated sections of the song.

Pretty Little Head by Eliza Rickman

An advantage of this song is that it is a high-quality recording. However, the slightly abstract lyrics would make it difficult to develop a narrative for the music video. Furthermore, the genre of this song is less clear than many of the other song choices that I have selected, so it would be more difficult to utilise genre conventions in a music video.

He Never Shows by Pom-Pom Squad
A positive aspect of this song is that it has a steady beat which would enable effective synchronised editing. The indie rock genre of the song means that there would be opportunities to use conventions of the genre, such as elements of performance. Plus, the song is short which may make it easier to make a music video for it. Furthermore, the lyrics have the potential to inspire narrative elements for a music video.
