Research: Original music video for track

Here is the original music video of the song 'Where You Should Be' which was directed by Carl Burgess:



The video contains no performance side but only narrative. The video mostly shows computer generated shapes and a woman that seems to be transforming. For our music video for the same song, we aim to include both performance and narrative, will include numerous actors instead of one and is likely to be faster paced with more things happening than this video. One thing we like about this video is the way the cuts from one shot to another are often synced in with the tempo of the song. We would like to do this in our video as it makes the video fit better with the song.

Research: Track decided for main task

Me and my peer have decided on the track which we will be producing a music video for. We chose this out of our list of 3 songs which I previously posted as possible tracks we could use for our music video. The track we chose fits in to the genre of electronica, was produced by the Dubstep producer 'Skream' and features vocals from 'Sam Frank'. The track was taken from the album 'Outside The Box' and released on the record label 'Tempa'.
We decided to use this track this as we both liked the song as thought it had the potential to create a emotional and meaningful video. Also, it offered the opportunity to input lip syncing which we both wanted to do. Another big reason is that the drum sounds in the track are loud and easily heard. This therefore offered the opportunity of being able to cut between shots to the tempo indicated by these drum sounds which is something me and seb think will look good.  It was also a decent and realistic length for the amount we think we can produce.
