As we decided that we want to create a darker more twisted music video in an alternative rock kind of style and set it out in a forest or a darker place, we wanted our song to match the atmosphere. example the drama room and add interesting lightning props and Mise-en-scene for it to look more appealing to our audience .. At first we looked at some songs that we all thought could be good for a music video,but some of them already had a well known style and appearance which could not be outdone, such as Evanescence. We also looked at some other interesting bands such as All Time Low, Cage The Elephant, Imagine Dragons etc, but they seemed to have male lead singers and as our group wanted the lead singer to be there at all times when needed we decided to use someone from our actual group as a lead singer, therefore it has to be female. One of our song choices was Demons by Imagine Dragons. As the lead singer in imagine dragons is male we found a cover by Jasmine Thompson:
I thought the cover for this music video is very soft and gentle and it would have a nice narrative to it as the song's lyrics are very powerful and full of emotion, as well as the way Jasmine Thompson sings each line. It is very simple and there would be quite a lot to work with in terms of narrative.
Some disadvantages for this song are that as the song progresses the pace or volume doesn't change and it is not as dark and twisted as we want it to be. The voice stays soft and gentle and the video might not be very appealing to our audience as it would not be controversial enough.
