In the end, we decided to use this song as we felt it held the most potential to create a successfully interesting and creative music video that held all the narrative devices and techniques that are required of us. This song holds an interesting beat that is split into sections, allowing of a creation of a narrative to be formed as well as having appropriate lyrics that we decided could be intertwined with the narrative to add a performance aspect to the piece. This song has a clear set of indie pop conventions to follow, which will add ease when filming to appeal to an audience, and this will also be useful in later evaluations of our piece. The overall recording is of a good quality, with an equally clear backing track, meaning the overall quality of our video will not be hindered by the sound. The only issue that may arise will be the repetitive nature of both the beat and the lyrics, however we hope to overcome this by only loosely matching the lyrics with the narrative, and instead focusing on the themes that arise from listening to this piece- specifically, the theme of a journey.
We have emailed West Coast Massive regarding the copyright permissions of using their music, and they have happily allowed us to do so.
