In a group we have looked at possible ideas for the song we are going to use in our music video. The videos below are the three videos we are going to use a possible song for our music video to be based around. We have already to decided to look at 'Bullying' as the theme to our music video and looking at these songs and their lyrics will fit around the them of bullying Katy Perry - Roar.
First video we have looked at to use the song 'Roar' by Katy Perry.This video has nothing to do with the theme we are planning our music video around but it's the songs that we are interesting using because of the strong song and the lyrics which could be a first possible idea to use this song to make our music video around. Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now. Second song as possible song to use for our music video is 'Who's laughing now' by Jessie J. This video is based on bullying and how jessie j has over come it and how she had become famous due to the bullying she had been put through when she was younger. In the video it shows bullying and her lyrics for the song also represented the bullying aspect to the bullying. David Guetta - Titanium.
Last video which could be a possible song to use for our music video is called 'Titanium' by David Guetta. This could be also a possible song to use for our music video because of the lyrics represent isolation and bullying which that is theme we are planning on creating our music video around. The video also shows isolation so that is a good idea to use in our music video.
