Song choice

Unfortunately, I am still not entirely decided on the song that i would like to accompany my music video. However, since September (when i initially listed some ideas), I have narrowed down my ideas to: Adele, set Fire to the Rain and Leona Lewis, stop Crying your heart out (a cover of an Oasis track). This is due to the fact that both songs carry great lyrical meaning, and I feel are dramatic in a way in which i would be able to show a strong narrative along side the artists miming the words. From my research into inspirational texts I have decided that I would like my video too....

1. Have multiple narratives which relate to issues of a modern day society
2. Include the artist singing, perhaps at a beach or somewhere desolate to present the idea of isolation
3. Have a linear narrative structure with a clear conclusion
4. Include shots of items, locations ect. which reflect the lyrics (ie. water running, candles, ect.) to create an almost montage effect
5. Include shot transitions that reflect the audio

Perhaps fortunately, I have come to realise that the two songs that i have narrowed down do not currently have any existing texts, allowing me to not be influenced by the existing tracks for these particular tracks.
