Music Video Song Choice


The song I have chosen to create my music video to is 'Heads Will Roll' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This is an Indie Pop/ Alternative Dance song which is featured on the bands 3rd album 'It's Blitz', released in 2009. The song was remixed by 'A-Track' to be featured in the 2012 movie 'Project X'.
I chose this song in particular because the lyrics and overall nature of the song sparked several ideas regarding a narrative. The lyrics to the song give hints towards possible themes which could be incorporated within the video, helping me to develop initial ideas. I also like the fast tempo and up beat nature of the song as this will allow me to use fast editing techniques. Furthermore the fun, 'dancy' beat is entertaining and different, which drew me to the song initially and is something which I'd like to highlight within my music video. In addition to this the 'dancy' nature of the song allows for a range of performance elements to be included. The current music video didn't really appeal to me either, therefore I feel like I can come up with a set of unique ideas which will hopefully attract my target audience.
Length: 3:41
