The song choice was extremely important for the whole A2 course, as the video we create will correspond with the song.
We had a group discussion on the song we will use for our video which showed so many different artists, we all decided on the general genre of the song which was between Indie and Rock. The artists we discussed to use ranged from:

After discussion we preferred to use a song by Coldplay called
'Clocks', however the band is one of the most famous british bands of this era, so therefore we decided that making a music video for one of their songs may be too challenging as they are
'too famous'. We also discussed using a song by Plan B called
'Hard Times', we agreed that the song created many ideas for a video, however as Plan B is known worldwide we felt using him would be difficult as he already has many music videos out and
connotes a certain style in many of them, therefore we would have had to copy his style and therefore the video would not be original. We therefore decided to use a song which is fairly unknown, which proved difficult as researching a song you haven't heard of is very time consuming.
After individual research Jay suggested a song by Noel Gallagher, which is 'AKA...What A Life' which has recently been used on the Vauxhall motor advert and had been on the TV show Soccer AM a few weeks earlier. After listening to the song in both studio and live format we decided to use the studio version as the sound was crisper and had clearer vocals.
Another reason for choosing this particular song was that it hasn't got a music video as of yet, this therefore allows us to be more creative with our video as we cannot copy any ideas from the original music video, as there isn't one.
