After all of our research we have decided to pick OneRepublic- If I lose myself (Pop Rock)

I stared up at the sun
Thought of all other people, places and things I've loved
I stared up just to see
Of all other faces, you are the one next to me
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out the sea yeah
You can see your life out of the window, tonight

If I lose myself tonight
It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight (whoa, whoa, whoa)

If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I
Lose myself tonight

I woke up with the sun
Thought of all other people, places and things I've loved
I woke up just to see
Of all other faces you were the one next to me
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out the sea yeah
You can see your life out of the window, tonight

If I lose myself tonight
It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight (whoa, whoa, whoa)

If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I
Lose myself tonight (whoa)
Whoo
Oh ooh

Take us down and we keep trying
40, 000 feet keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
40, 000 feet keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
40, 000 feet keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
40, 000 feet keep flying

Lose myself

If I lose myself tonight

Hoo hoo ooh

Hoo hoo ooh

We decided to pick this song because of the variety of the song. We chose it because it has lots of instrumental parts which would mean we could create a narrative in these bits. It also makes lip syncing easier as we can focus on it more if there is slightly less. There is a constant beat which would help with editing as it could fit to the cuts. The lyrics can also be adapted to make an ahieveable narrative as they are quite open lyrics. This means we can experiment with different narratives so we aren't tied down to one idea. Furthermore the ending isn't abrupt and slows down which could help end the narrative and overall performance of the music video. Although it is sung by a band we thought that it would still look professional if there was only one singer due to the genre of the music so we wouldn't have to get a band together- this means we only need to reply on one person.
