Katie Vogel...response to track

The genre of this song would be very upbeat, soul / pop. The song is Very catchy and the instruments used are the types that are usually associated with these genres. If shot, he video for this song would be a Lo-fi video, because the artist is not signed to a record label as of yet, furthermore it is more retro than the modern day pop music like Britney spears. And would suit a more basic video avoiding voyeuristic representation of women because the song has more of a concept than just a song including sexual connotations meaning the video would be deeper in meaning. I think the types of videos that would be comparable to this track would come from such artists as Amy Winehouse, as she produces music of the same genre, which is very upbeat, cheerful and catchy. ‘Rehab’ for example, could be compared to this track. In the video to this track I think, obviously the main character would be the female singer, as she is singing about the fact that she does not want to love this certain man. This is quite a harsh concept to sing about.

"Wanted me to stay, but I didn’t wanna. Begged on me to stay, no I didn’t wanna"
"sorry, you aint ever gonna get me".

These lyrics indicate that the personality she is taking on in the song, is of an inconsiderate woman, who is very blunt about the fact that the love for her, is unrequited. Therefore in the video there could be all sorts of scenes that show this attitude. Maybe her cheating on this man or just using him for his money for example. These ideas would reinforce what she is singing about. There are numerous predicaments which could relate to what she is singing about through the song. At a flat, a home environment, the couple could be having an argument. Or down a high street the female vocalist could be singing whilst shopping with his credit card. The main character would be the female vocalist, who acts as a vindictive female who is Inconsiderate and nasty toward her innocent other half. Because of the genre and the type of song, I think there are very few suitable effects that could be used, post-filming. Because this video would be lo-fi, it would only need a director, film crew and a cast to play the background parts throughout the video.
