MY MAIN/FAVOURITE IDEA :: Beaches by Beabadoobee:

Pros:

• Alternative & indie genre clearly stated
• Clear ideas for music video
• Wouldn't get bored of the song
• Easy access to suitable locations
• Would be easy to shoot as it would all be in the day
• Can get 2 demographics in (male in the friendgroup, would get close ups / shots of just him)

Cons:

• Would need to cut the song a bit
• Not much performance in terms of close up of instruments? Would definitely be narrative but would have some shots of lip syncing but not necessarily have any instruments .. MAY be able to squeeze them in?

Drop in the Bucket by The Glow:

Pros:

• Idea for music video
• Wouldn't get bored of the song
• Can access lots of locations
• Easy to shoot as in the day
• Can easily get 2 demographics in as the main singer is a male but has female backup singers (male + female band)
• Can get lip syncing + performance + narrative

Cons:

• Alternative / indie genre isn't explicitly stated but can be inferred
• May make it harder to get marks due to the genre being not EXPLICITLY the correct genre

Hey, Kid! by Phoneboy:

Pros:

• Clear idea for narrative + lip syncing
• Can easily get instrument/performance in
• Genre is EXPLICITLY alternative/indie
• Can easily get 2 demographics in
• Could get some good useful locations

Cons:

• Little difficult to film as the song says that they're being rebellious "hours past curfew" ... so at night / in the dark - would also make quality a bit worse ?!?!

Pillow by Malcolm Todd:

Pros:

• Can easily get instrument/performance/lip syncing in
• Can get narrative in it
• Genre is EXPLICITLY alternative/indie
• Could get some good locations (house, outdoors, good prop ideas)
• Can easily get 2 demographics in 

Cons:

• Much more of a moody song so would require darker colours and lighting which may affect quality of music video
