Song idea 1 -
Positives -
There are a number of positives about this particular song. Firstly, the song is by indie rock band The Arctic Monkeys, a band which i am hoping to emulate whilst creating and styling my band. Secondly, this particular song has very interesting and entertaining lyrics which could be used to create a unique, interesting and entertaining video.
Negatives -
Although there are a number of positives to this song, there are also a number of negatives. Firstly, this particular song contains a large amount of guitar solos and loud drumming, this could well prove to be a problem, as members of my band are inexperienced in playing instruments, and so these solos may be too difficult for them to reproduce on camera, meaning that the overall look of the video will be unrealistic and unprofessional.

Positives -
There are a variety of positives within this particular song. Firstly, the song is by indie/alternative rock band Kasabian, a band which, similarly to the Arctic Monkeys, are a band which i am hoping to emulate whilst styling my band members. Another positive about this particular song is its simplicity. This song does not feature any out of this world guitar/drum solos and features fairly simplistic lyrics. Both of these factors could prove to be extremely important whilst filming the music video, as the simpler the song, the more realistic the final music video will look. The style of this song may also suit my band.
Negatives -
Whilst analysing this video i discovered a variety of negatives which feature in this song. Firstly, the song features particular sounds which may be difficult to recreate whilst filming the music video. The second negative is the age of the song.Although it is not yet classified as a 'classic' it is in fact a decade old, and so may not match the current style of my band. However, this factor could change, depending on whether the song does match the overall style of both the band and the music video.

Positives-
Whilst analysing this particular song i discovered a variety of positives. The first positive i noticed was the tempo of the music. This song contains a fast paced beat which i would use to add energy to my music video, this tempo may also match my bands style and overall performance on camera. The second positive i discovered was the lyrics which feature throughout. The lyrics used in this particular song are fairly simplistic and could work well in my music video (as the lead singer will need to be able to mime in time with the song, therefore the simpler the lyrics, the better the overall appearance will be.) Once again, this song is by indie/alternative rock band Kasabian, and so will match my bands appearance and musical style, as Kasabian are a band i am hoping to emulate whilst designing and styling my band.
Negatives -
Whilst analysing this song, i discovered a variety of negatives. Firstly, this song contains both drum and guitar solos, which could prove to be difficult whilst filming my band. The second negative is the songs length. Although it is not the longest song in the world, it is in fact over 4 minutes. Although this is not a huge problem, i may find it difficult to find enough footage to fill a 4 minutes and 17 second video.

Positives -
There are a number of positive features within this particular song. Firstly, the style of the song would match and suit my band, as The Arctic Monkeys are a band which i am hoping to emulate, both aesthetically and musically whilst styling my band. The second positive aspect of this particular song is the length. As this song is 3 minutes and 20 seconds, it is virtually the ideal time for a music video. In my opinion, a video and a song which is between 3 and 4 minutes is the perfect amount of time for the audience to both listen to and watch the action which is taking place on screen. The third aspect of this particular music is its simplicity. Although this song does feature both guitars and drums, it does not feature extremely difficult guitar/drum solos. This is a positive feature, as the simpler the song, the more realistic the final video will appear.
Negatives -
Whilst analysing this particular song, i did not manage to find a single negative factor, as this song appears to tick all of the right boxes. Having said that, i am not going to jump ahead and choose this song, as i feel as if i need time to weigh up my options, to ensure that i make the correct decision, seeing the bands style and setting will help me to do this.

Positives -
Whilst analysing this particular song i discovered a variety of positive features. Firstly, the style of the song will match both the appearance and musical style of my band, as (as mentioned before) The Arctic Monkeys are a band which i will attempt to emulate whilst designing and styling my band. The second positive feature is the pace of the song. Unlike 'Brick By Brick' this song contains a fast pace/tempo which i feel will add energy and interest to both the band and the video. The third positive feature i discovered whilst analysing this song is the fact that various members of my band, can in fact play this song. This feature is arguably the most important as the band will look extremely realistic in the final music video. The fourth positive aspect of this particular song is the simplicity of both the tune and the lyrics. As mentioned before, using a simplistic song allows the band members to appear more realistic on screen, allowing the visuals to appear extremely professional.
Negatives -
Whilst analysing this particular song, i found it extremely difficult to draw up a list of negatives, however, i did manage to find one. The only negative i discovered whilst analysing this song is the drumming. The drumming which features in this particular song is extremely fast, and may be too difficult for my drummer to keep up with. However, this particular negative aspect could become a positive one, as, if my drummer is able to keep up and the footage appears realistic, then this song may well be the ideal song choice for my music video.

Positives -
I discovered a variety of positive features whilst analysing this particular song. Firstly, this song is fast paced and has an upbeat tempo, which could match the video which i am hoping to create. The second factor relates to the simplicity of the lyrics. As mentioned before, the simplicity of a song can play a huge factor whilst creating a music video, as, if the lyrics/music is too over complicated, the performers on screen may look as if they are out of time, therefore leading to an unprofessional, unrealistic video. The third feature which caught my eye was the style of the song. This particular song is by indie/alternative rock band Beady Eye, a band who's style i may attempt to emulate whilst designing and creating my indie rock band.
Negatives -
Whilst analysing this particular song i once again struggled to find a large amount of negative features, however, i did manage to discover one. This negative feature is the length of the song. sa mentioned before, the length of the song can play a huge role when making a music video, as, the longer the song, the more footage you need, therefore the shorter the song, the less footage you need. In my opinion, it will be extremely difficult to try and fill a 5 minute gap, also, the audience may lose interest.

Positives -
After analysing this song, i discovered a variety of positive features. Firstly, the songs simplicity stood out to me. Not only is this song lyrically simple, but musically too. Although it does contain guitars, drums etc as well as guitar solos, it is not overly complicated and could be replicated by my band in my music video. Another positive factor which i discovered was the songs length, As mentioned before, i am looking to choose a song which is ideally between 3 and 4 minutes, as i believe that this is the perfect time limit for the audience to both watch and listen to the action which is taking place on screen. The third positive factor which i discovered is the songs style. As mentioned before, Beady Eye are a band who's style i wish to emulate, and so both the style and the song could go hand in hand, therefore creating a realistic appearing band who create music which matches their style/appearance.
