Once the groups were settled my group - Nina Jakobsen, Charlotte Morgan and me, tried to discuss some ideas that we have/share for a possible song we would like to cover. Our initial idea was to find a real band from MySpace for example without needing to use a cover, but an original song. However, this might be a little bit difficult to do. Nevetheless, we are going to try and find one, but in the mean time we will start planning the song we would cover in case we will not be able to find a band on time.
We thought that picking an older song e.g. 70s might be a good idea because often their music videos are not very good and we wanted to show creativity. In addition, we thought that it would be interesting to create a star image for a new band, but with an older song. The next step was a possible music style. We all liked rock/ indie style, so we agreed on this as well, which was a quite a good start for us. Therefore we thought that a live performance will be quite suitable for the style. Personally, I got inspired by Radiohead - Creep, which is also an indie band and I really liked the style and the different touch and edge on it. The fact that the band overall creates very interesting videos made me think that I would like to include something abstract, which will make the song different and hopefully unique as well. I was thinking that the close-ups of the lead-singer work quite well. In terms of the video itself we thought of a black/white shooting with red features eg. each member of the band would have something red (a scarf, a hat etc), which we thought will look quite edgy and will create an original look of the video. We all agreed that we would the song to be up-beat in order to have more fast cuts and lively setting. The songs we were thinking about were: The Kinks - "You Really Got Me" , "All Day and All of The Night" or The Clash - "Should I Stay or Shoul I Go"
