Shannon Logan: Song Choice

The song we have chosen is 

'Rudimental ft Ella Eyre - Waiting All Night' 

We chose this song because it is a song we all quickly agreed with and we had ideas that are different to the original video and also quite similar. Other songs we looked at:

- 'Sigma ft Paloma Faith - Changing'

- 'Oliver Helden x Becky Hill - Overdrive (Gecko)'

What is in the actual video?
This video follows a storyline; a man has a cycling accident, ends up in a wheelchair and his friends help him gradually recover and start cycling and doing stunts again. 

Ella Eyre, the singer, does not actually feature in the video so there is no lip syncing. It's as if the video and song are separate. The song is titled 'Waiting All Night' - the night element only features once.

What will be different about ours?
The biggest difference would probably be that our main artist will most definitely feature in our video in order to lip sync. Our video won't feature a storyline of a cyclist and we intend to link more to the title 'Waiting All Night' -  meaning we have more night scenes and a more youth party scenario. 
Thus making our video significantly different to the original.

We found that the lyrics of the song are consistent throughout. 

"I've been waiting all night.."

"tell me what you want.."

"tell me that you need me.."

This is repeated throughout the whole song.  We came to the decision that we can be as broad as we want in terms of creative ideas.  However, we do not want to cram the video so much so that it looks tacky. 

Setting, Location and Costume.

The original video is mostly filmed on main roads and at a skate park. 
We plan to film a party and the streets of areas like Camden, Jaya's roof, a house etc.
The only similarity we intend to have is to have scenes in public, out and about except we will be on foot and not cycling. 
We will have a more nightlife feel.
In terms of costume, we will have basic modern day clothing; things that most teenagers would wear (not too dressed up, mostly casually). Similar to those in the video.
One thing that will stand out is Jaya's hair, in the video they don't have anyone that has something that makes them stand out.
