Responding to a Track

1. The song that I have decided to chose is by ‘The Script’ and the song is called ‘fall for anything’.

2. The genre for this track falls clearly under that of Indie/ pop rock, you are able to tell this because of the style of music and certain iconic traits which you would associate with this genre. For example, the types of clothes the band members wear (leather jacket etc).

3. The song that I have chosen is more LO FI rather than HI FI. Most of ‘The Script’s’ songs have limited special effects and have a simple format throughout. For example in the video for the song ‘the man who can’t be moved’ by the script, it is very straight forward with the lead singer walking down a normal every day street expressing his feelings in a song.

4. Other songs which may compare to The Scripts style of music are bands like ‘The Fray’. They both put emotion into their lyrics and express a lot of meaning behind them which is appealing to people who enjoy this type of music. These two well known bands fall into the same genre of indie/pop rock.

5. If we were to use this particular song to create a music video around, the following ideas will be used.

In the video we will try to involve each member in the group. We will try to keep the same LO FI style that ‘The Script’ usually stick to but also add in our own twists and creative flair to make the video unique.


6. To maximize the success of our music video we will try to explore different locations which will enhance the final outcome of our video and make it unique and of a high standard. Places such as London will be good to shoot some of our scenes at because of the city surroundings and iconic monuments which audiences may recognise.

7. We will try to include everyone in our video but however if we only need 1 or 2 characters we will do so, instead of throwing in too many people which will make the video outcome look amateur. Our aim as a group is to make the video as stylish as possible and as professional as it can be. We will only use characters when needed and not throw in people just for the sake of it.
