Within my group discussion we talked about what style song we would like to do; something with a good storyline, a little upbeat but not too mainstream. Our intial ideas was to use an artist like Nina Nesbitt, Ellie Golding or The XX. We began looking at 'Stay Out' by Nina Nesbitt, 'Angels' by The XX and 'Burn' by Ellie Golding for possible song choices. As a group we wanted to look at mainstream music videos to get some initial ideas for our music video, something with an edgy story line which would catch an audiences attention. One of the videos we particularly liked was the concept in 'We Found Love' by Rihanna. We thought the video was very effective and linked to a relationship which is something we would like in our music video. We came to a conclusion of choosing 'Apple Tree' by Nina Nesbitt; an acoustic song with an alternative style music video. My group and I spoke about what made it a good song to choose and decided it was perfect in the way that it does really have a professional music video; something simple but indicates what the song is about. We felt that if we went for a mainstream artist with a high budget music video we wouldn't do our video justice, as it would instantly be compared to the original. By doing 'Apple Tree' we avoid this situation and make the video our own, doing it justice and being successful.
The group discussion also consisted of us coming up with ideas such as;
- Artist representation; portraying an extra ordinary talent
- Editing; a mixture of fast and slow editing with ages effects to portray past memories
- Style of music video; alternative style
- Codes an conventions; following the typical relationship break up involving a boy and girl
- Target audience; between 14-24
- Music video theory; we wish to follow Goodwin's theory, linking lyrics to visuals
- Music video inspirations; we particularly were drawn by 'We found love' by Rihanna
- Annotation of lyrics; being a relationship break up
