New Song Choice

Through capturing my footage, and viewing it on the editing software I have now changed my mind about the song. Chris Cornell's 'You Know My Name' is a fast paced song, which when played with my footage appeared too fast. The song would suit a more action packed idea, and the theme of my music video is not action packed enough, as it is based around gambling. This was an error on my part as I planned in the filming around the lyrics and not the pacing of the song, which has lead me to having footage which does not work with the song. This does mean that I will have to do some extra filming of lip syncing, for the new song I have chosen. The song I am changing to is Sam Smith's 'Writing on the Wall'. I experimented with many different songs whilst playing my footage, and this song works best. The lyrics are fairly similar to 'You Know My Name', as they are both songs written for James Bond, which means they will work with the shots I currently have. Throughout the song there is mention of risk, which is the premise of my music video. The primary reason this song works better than the former, is the pacing. 'Writing on the Wall' is slower in pace, and fits well with the pacing of my planned music video. Additionally, the song works as it has the same target audience, also being created for a James Bond opening sequence. My next step is to now arrange with the protagonist to film lip syncing of the new song choice.
