We thought again about using the song by Shontelle, T-shirt and felt that it was bait too slow and hard to think of the visuals due the lyrics being a bit too simple and boring; not having a narrative. So we researched into three song choices, including T-shirt and comparing it with the other two so that we can select the best one in which we will use in our music video.
Our first song choice is 'T-shirt' by Shontelle
We feel that this song being slow pace will help us work with the visuals and will make it easier for us to create a narrative.
Our second song choice was 'Battlefield' by Jordin Sparks.
This song is really upbeat and amplifies a mixture of pop and RnB which also makes it easier for us to illustrate the visuals.
Our third song choice is 'Gravity' by Pixie Lott.
We feel that this song works really well with the concept of dance and amplifies the girl pop feel too. The colour theme in this music video being black and white gave us the idea of having our music being black and white to portray the emotional side of the narrative and make it more effective.
From having a discussion, with the group, we decided that we wanted to go with the song 'Battlefield' as we feel that it goes along with the narrative well of the girl's parents arguing and love feeling "like a battlefield". Although it may be contrapuntal at parts of the music video due to the calm peaceful visuals of ballet dancing, we think that overall it will work really well and amplify the narrative as well as the pop genre feel due to the song being upbeat.
