My list of possible songs with reasons why/why not and ideas
Avril Lavigne - One Of Those Girls
http://www.mediafire.com/?yvdjhcndl1l
- Fast paced & fun
- Almost exactly 3 minutes long
Focus on one girl and follow the storyline of the song about the actions she has and her attitude. We could use a lot of different locations or stick to a few simple ones
Shiny Toy Guns - Don't Cry Out
http://www.mediafire.com/?kljs1zvj2jb
- Strong beat
- Different sounds
- Almost 4 minutes long
Start with footsteps in split screen of two people doing synchronised steps. This would then split further and further from 2 to 3 to 4 etc all the way to 9 splits with everyone doing the same actions, or at least similar actions. At a certain point, the screens would begin to change in the number of splits back down to just two again. It could also be that the split screens have some people mouthing words and others doing everyday actions or just sights from around London
30 Seconds To mars - Year Zero
http://www.mediafire.com/?yxp3xqv3pq4
- Almost 5 minutes long, but there is a natural break in the song at 2:54 where it ends before restarting
- Would lend itself to split screens and the idea of superheroes
Could have a guy singing the lyrics as he walked down the street where we could then have split screen to show other people's reactions to him or could show an alternative storyline such as a guy and a girl and the interactions between them, maybe a date.
Pendulum - Granite
http://www.mediafire.com/?cxjz0hgbytj
- Over 4 minutes long
- Already been released with a video (not widely known and was a UFO based video)
- Fast paced with a definitive beat
Abstract imagery of London at night (and day maybe) that contains clips of people doing everyday things and the use of split screen with shots cut to the music
Pendulum - Blood Sugar
http://www.mediafire.com/?mttjjsoui2i
- Just under 3 minutes long
- Most versions have speaking over start (although there are 'clean' versions)
- Too fast paced?
Idea of working backwards through a story with a message, for example someone was shot and you'd see them in hospital at the start hooked up to machines before flashing back to the start where you see how they ended up injured
The Academy Is... - Everything We Had
http://www.mediafire.com/?agzmjmloiwl
- Just under 4 minutes
- Quite a slow song, but speeds up after about 30 seconds with other changes of pace
Could follow the story of two people reflecting on their past relationship with what they're doing now/looking at old pictures maybe comparing them with split screen
