Two Door Cinema Club : Eat Up That's Good For You
This was one of our first choices for a song, we liked how the song was quite upbeat and worked well with some of the ideas we had at the beginning of decision making (powder paint). Another positive point towards the song is that Two Door Cinema Club are my favourite band and I absolutely love this song.
However we decided not to go with this song for the following reasons.' Eat Up That's Good for You' is sung by a male lead, and so we found that that would be difficult to portray and work around in our video. Also after a while of listening to this song we found that it may have been too fast paced, and once we found Starry Eyed we realised that that had a beat that we thought would suit better to our ideas. Furthermore even though being my favourite band that could've been a negative, as I may have not wanted to take risks with it and will have wanted to just do it justice !

The Joy Formidable : Wolf's Law
We originally found this song due to the video, as it included a montage of fast paced shots. We also liked the variety of beats throughout the song, and  the build up nearer the end.
This song we found was very different to TDCC's, as the beat was a lot slower and the song itself seemed quite sad and mellow, which was not what we were originally aiming for.Furthermore the song didn't match with our idea's (powder paint) as we were basing our video around being fun and colourful and this song was quite the opposite of that. Also despite having a build up of the beat nearer the end of Wolf's Law, as a group we decided we didn't want to wait that long to show a more fun and creative side of our video.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
When we first heard this song we really liked it and thought that maybe it had some potential. However we couldn't decide on an idea or storyline that would fit with this song. The only creative that we could think of was to show random montage shots into our film, which we thought wouldn't be as creative or fun to work with. There's also male vocals included in this song and that is something that we previously realised we didn't want, so therefore thought this song would be too difficult to work with.
