Our Chosen Song:
In the end we decided to go with Bunny Lee's 'Jamie wont you please come home'. The reason for us choosing this particular song instead of the other option we had in mind which was Amanda Kaletsky 'Everything Lies' was because as a team we both decided that our chosen song could offer us a lot more ideas on various narrative stories we could produce for our final music video. We wanted an unexpected narrative within our music video and drafting ideas for both songs allowed us to decide that Bunny Lee's song was a good choice. We also wanted some sort of love story within our music video and the fact that 'Jamie wont you please come home' is based upon a young girl singing about a boy and pleading with him to come home made the song the obvious choice. Along with this we felt that Amanda Kaletsky's 'Everything Lies' was quite repetitive and therefore this would be another reason to why it would have been harder to create a unique storyline for this particular song. Finally, after much thought we came to the conclusion that as we are creating an Indie Music Video the target audience tends to be from the ages of around 16-24 and therefore believed the issues raised in 'Jamie wont you please come home' such as love, loneliness, and heartbreak all would relate to people of this age group in particular.
