My Chosen Song

After thinking about the results I decided to have the following two as my final choices:

*I Will Be by Leona Lewis, and
*Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston

I chose those two as my final choices because they did come out on top in the survey and because I do have an actress it seemed more realistic to choose a female song, because the first 3 would preferably need a male actor for them to work. After I had these two as my choices I thought of which one would be best, the tempo of the song, a long with the meaning of the song and finally which I thought I would be most comfortable with.

In the end, I finally chose Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston. Main reasons for choosing this over I Will Be was because I feel as though I can interpret my own, personal feelings into that video and have more inspirational ideas, especially because I can see what they used in the original video. The tempo of the song is more slower and has more meaning so hopefully I can use more editing techniques to emphasize that. The people that answered my survey said that they think I should choose one I am more confident with and I feel this is the one.

From this point onwards, my main aim will be to plan out for my video. I will be doing this in various ways by analysing the lyrics in more detail and creating presentations on how I will be choosing particular locations, camera angles and mise en scene etc. Also I will need to be creating visual storyboards and animatics to help me see if I could make it any better or grabs more advanced ideas from my original ideas.
