Ideas for the song

We took a lot of time picking our song.
Mainly because we were picking songs that we personally like to listen to, however, we didn't take into account the original music video of the song, and how our own interpretation of the video should be.

We were mainly stuck between three artists, Adele, Selena Gomez and Rihanna.

Rihanna was one of our first ideas for the video. Because of the more up beat of the music (What's My Name), we thought it could be more fun to do and to edit, especially with fast cuts into different scenes. We also thought of popular locations to film it in, including Blackpool. Because of the fast beat of the song, and the story of the song, we thought filming it at the Blackpool Pier would be fun to do, and also it can be used for the narrative.

Selena Gomez was also in our list. We thought that her songs are also upbeat, however, just a little more "pop" than Rihanna's. We looked and liked a few of her songs, but we thought of doing Who Says after analyzing the songs. The music video to Who Says is more creative than What's My Name, and after thinking about it carefully, we realized that we might not be able to film and edit the video to perfection and to a similar standard than the original in the small amount of time that we have.

Because of our different music genres, it was harder for us to think of a song that we will all like. In our group we have a wide variety of genres, from Indie/ Rock to Pop to Dance and to Hip Hop.

We have finally chosen a song that we was all alright with. Set Fire To The Rain by Adele.
This song is more in the R & B/ Soul genre, and was in the top charts.
The song hasn't got an official music video that has been released yet, so it was easier for us to thing of a scenario. However, due to the lack of the original video, it was also harder for us to imagine scenes, scenarios and locations because there isn't any starting point or guidelines to take inspiration from.

We kept the same locations from the What's My Name idea to the chosen song, as it fits in, modern, urban and classy. However, going to Blackpool is still undecided.

●Rihanna- What's My Name
