Song Choices...

We have come up with a few possible song choices for our music video. We have decided to look at female soloists that are all from the pop type genre.

Avril Lavigne-Things I'll Never Say
This song has really nice lyrics and follows a story. "I’m tugging at my hair, I’m pulling at my clothes". This is an example of some of the lyrics and it would be easy to have shots of the girl doing these actions.We could visualise what was going on in the first verse but as the song went on this became more difficult.

Avril Lavigne-Anything But Ordinary
I like this song because the singer is singing directly to the audience allowing them to connect with her because she is sharing her story with them. "I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby". The tempo of the song is rather slow but it gradually speeds up and we think this will increase the difficulty of lip synching.

Kate Nash-Birds
This song has a nice narrative which follows the story of a girl meeting her boyfriend at a train station and their jourey where the boy tells her how he feels about her but uses birds to explain himself. "And make you feel well scared but when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful that's how I feel about you". However, this song is very slow and repetitive and would be a challenge to produce a video.

Lily Allen-Shame For You
This song has a narrative about the singer saying she won't take her ex back and she insults his throughout the song like, "You'll be crying like a baby". This song however, has unsuitable lyric meanings.

Duffy-I'm Scared
This song has beautiful lyrics that address the singer's partner that has left her and she sings about how life has changed at their home. It follows a simple story and the lyrics are very easy to visualise. "Coffee stains on your favorite book remind me of you so I can't take a look." I can see her wandering around the house looking very upset in a white shirt he left behind showing her innocence in the situation and how she wants to remain close to him.

Kate Nash-We Get On
This is a very upbeat song but has slow lyrics which should be easy to lip synch. It has a good narrative throughout the song which you are able to visualise easily. "And when I saw you kissing that girl my heart, it shattered...". For this we could have the girl walking in on them and a close up of her face.
