Planning: Group Pitch to class

Life on fire

Our first choice was the song 'life on fire' a song for the rock/indie genre pitch as it has examples of rebellion and fast and interesting compositions. The lyrics can be represented in the video literally or as metaphor for life and passion. For the music video I was thinking along the lines of alcoholism and escapism very close associated with the genre for example Fidlar's cocaine.

 A previous As group also did their own version of it and got 10,000 views.




Unexpectedly I found the Cover to be a much better video as it had more depth a story line and a narrative that fit the lyrics perfectly. As the lyrics say cocaine, alcoholism doesn't quite have the same effect as a class A drug to show complete immersion to the underbelly of crime.

Both videos have aspects of rebellion, vices and violence against establishment that are core to indie/rock genres.



Our final choice for the pitch and final song is a song by band Spurs who did an Ep split with Jake Clarke from super heaven we know that bands that do Ep splits are fairly underground and usually can't afford to make music videos or promotions so we chose this song to use as our music videos' song.
