As I am working on my own this time the song of choice will have to fit my criteria, I will have to have good ideas to work with it, enjoy the song and be willing to create a music video for it, so I will have to pick a pre-existing song I know I enjoy and can get creative with.
The potential options are the following:
- Kendrick Lamar / Backseat Freestyle - this song is interesting and I could really go against the stereotypes of black rap, or I could go typically with the fast paced, egotistical culture of wealth and sports, physical fitness. In one of Lamar's videos he utilised visual typography very well. The editing would be the focus in this video.
- Athlete / Chances - a slow song that addresses some pretty serious themes such as loneliness and missed opportunities. Overall some aspects I could cover pretty extensively and artistically.
- Beck / Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime - featuring in one of my favourite films, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind featuring Jim Carrey following similar themes such as Chances, however, I enjoy this break up song a lot more than I enjoy listening to Chances as I am a big fan of Beck.
After a great deal of thinking I will be creating a music video for Beck / Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime due to it's sombre feel. I believe I can create some artistic shots and convey serious emotion in this music video and could even give it a pretty sinister tone. I possess a plethora of ideas for this song and think it will look extremely professional with a great use of mise-en-scene and camera shots.
