Potential Songs ~ Jess Hitch

Potential songs

Song title	Artist/band	Opinion: Luke	Opinion: Jess	Opinion: Will
Teardrop	Massive attack	Luke liked this song “because it would have made a good abstract video.”	I didn’t like this so much because it was already used in a TV drama. I also thought it was too slow-paced and a bit boring.	Will thought it was all right but he thought it was a bit slow paced.
British mode	Goose	Luke liked this one because they haven’t had many videos made.	I thought the intro was too slow and I also just didn’t like the singer in general. It also already had a video for this particular song.	Will thought it was shallow and pedantic.”
Galaxies	Owl city	Luke thought it was great because it would have made a good, upbeat video.	I really liked this song because its really upbeat and I’m a big fan of Owl city. It would have been ideal too because it doesn’t already have a video made.	Will loved this because it was really upbeat and probably would have made a good video.
Picking up the pieces	Blue October	Luke liked this video because it’s different from many songs and could have made a unique video.	I really didn’t like this video because it was too depressing and I just didn’t like the band in general.	Will didn’t like this because it was too boring and depressing.
Television rules the nation	Daft punk	Luke thought that this would be a good song to choose because it fits in with the genre we were aiming for and would have made a good abstract video.	I didn’t like the lyrics at the start of this song and I also thought it was a little bit boring.	Will liked the upbeatness of the video and he liked how it fit in with the electronic genre.
Tommy Gun	Royal republic	I showed this video to Luke a while back and he thinks the song is great. We wanted to do this song for our preliminary but it was too simple and we thought we could do a more interesting and complex video for this song.	I loved this song, it’s really upbeat and the singer is really good. I thought the original video could have used improving and we thought about taking this song forward to our final task but it wasn’t really the genre we had in mind.	Will really liked the song too but again, it wasn’t electronica. We had a fairly fixed idea as to the kind of song we wanted for our final video.
Digital Love	Daft punk	Luke loved this song because he thinks it’s really great and really modern. It also doesn’t have a video so it would be really great if we could come up with a technological themed video to tie in with the title.	I really liked this song because it’s cute and upbeat and still fits in with the genre we had in mind. I also agreed with Luke about the theme for this song.	Will liked this song because it features lyrics and has a narrative that we can play around with.

Our final decision on song choice for our music video was Digital Love by Daft Punk. All of us were fans of Daft punk and we all really like their music and we thought that because the song is called ‘digital love’, we could create a narrative that revolved around the digital and romance themes. The digital being a common occurrence in Daft Punk’s songs but romance lacking so we decided to include that into the video. We loved how this was the kind of genre and sound that we had in mind, which makes it easier on us because all the ideas we had in our head can be placed into the video with fairly little tweaking.
