Song Ideas

Idea 1 - Brokenhearted - Karmin
For
1. We could change the narrative. It wouldn't have to include a typical boy etc.
2. It's upbeat with a quirky sound.
3. The artist is not very mainstream and well known, therefore we can make the video our own.

Against
1. Editing would maybe be limited.
2. Rapping may make it harder to lip sync.
3. The concept of the song is quite common (typical boy hasn't called girl back etc)

Idea 2 - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
For
1. There's a good beat to it for continuity editing.
2. The lyrics are appropriate and many young people could relate to them.
3. The tone of the song is quite innocent so we could maybe change it up and go for an angry approach.

Against
1. Taylor Swift is a well known artist.
2. It may be difficult to steer away from the typical girl hates boy plot.
3. The concept may be seen as cheesy.

Idea 3 - Paper Planes - M.I.A.

For
1. The song is about democracy and real life political issues allowing us to have a positive message.
2. There are multiple efficient, editing opportunities due to the versatile beat.
3. The song is quite urban therefore it may be easy to shoot in different environments to make the video more diverse and real relating to democracy etc.

Against
1. The lyrics of the song may come across as offensive to some viewers.
2. The sounds of the gunshots may be too associated with violence.
3. The song may limit us as of what we could do.
