Final Song Choice

Final - Chosen Song

I have chosen Imagine Dragon's "Im on top of the World" as the song i will use for my video because it is a soft, alternative rock song with a very happy message and upbeat track. I feel like with this song i will be able to create a high quality video with shots i have taken through inspiration from other videos. Because the song is so happy, i will have to make sure the shot's i take will match this happiness, however there is also the fear that i make the video too happy and it becomes cheesy and unbearable to watch. For this reason i will need to experiment with diffrent shots to see which ones i should use and which ones i will leave out in fear of making my video look painfully cheesy.

My audience should receive this song better than my other options because of the large cult following for imagine dragons. It's also used in multiple movies, tv shows, and games and so even if you are not  a big fan of imagine dragons, you might recognise it and enjoy the video.

I am wanting to create a post modernism music video based of the theories of Andrew Goodwin. He had multiple theories surrounding music videos. One of these theories is that there is a succinct relationship between music and visuals. This means that whatever i put on screen will have to have a link to the music so that they are seeing what they're thinking when they hear the song. I am creating a post modernism music video as all my ideas are my own however i could be criticised for taking inspiration and idea's from other video's. I have used information gained from researching Andrew Goodwin to help plan my work.
