Song Pitches and Feedback



Here is our group's slideshow of our three top song choices for the final music video Which are Consideration by Rihanna, Burn It Down by Daughter, and Nostalgia by NAO. This presentation previews shot ideas and the main thesis of what we would do in the proposed music video for each song if we chose that one. After presenting, we  received feedback from our teacher and classmates. They told us their individual different ideas and which song would be the most successful for our group to create in their own opinion. We took the advice from everyone and decided to use NAO's Nostalgia for our final song. 



Music Video Presentation Feedback

Consideration - Rihanna:

  • Does not have a chorus so may be hard to keep the audience interested or keep a particular theme.
  • Rihanna is black and everyone in our group is white so it would seem unrealistic to many people watching as the voice and appearance do not match.
  • Since the song is by Rihanna, it may be had for the audience to detach from the image of Rihanna that goes along with her recognisable voice.
  • This song could get boring since it is the same tempo all the way through and does not change much.

Burn it Down - Daughter:

  • Anyone in our group could play the main artist.
  • This song has an interesting beat as it varies and it consists of a main chorus so there is lots of room for creativity.
  • Could be both performance and narrative- based.
  • Could be filmed outdoors and be very symbolic.
  • Comparable to Kate Bush and Florence and the Machine for their quirky look. 

Nostalgia - NAO

  • Has a very 70s vibe - comparable to bands like Jackson 5 but with a modern twist.
  • Very colourful song, has a lot of room to be visually interesting, creative and colourful.
  • Would include dancing 
  • Very performance based with strange twists to make it more alternative.
  • Would have to have an iconic artist with lots of costume changes and alter egos.
  • Lava lamps, disco balls, studio lights etc.
