Alternative Song Choice

An orignal idea we had which we researched into was Steve Mqueen by The Automatic. We discussed, locations and what our video would revolve around, we came up with a narrative revolving around the title of the song, we had the idea a young man about 18 years old who rode his motorbike to escape the problems of everyday life, the bike as a reference to the Steve Mqueen film 'The Great Escape'. Our opening scene would have been his parents arguing and him overhearing and then leaving, showing his ambition to escape his normal life. We would have also had band shots, like the ones in the music video.

Thing we took from this and put into our final song choice:

Dual Narratives - band shots and a narrative
Narrative choice - The boy does not have a good homelife, he is some what of an outcast
Genre - We always wanted to use a song that had a rock genre as we thought it would make a better video
Audience - The video ideas and rock vibe of both of the songs would have attracted similar audiences

Overall I feel our time planning a video for this song was not wasted as it helped us to develop ideas for our current video
