After listening to twelve different tracks these are the five that appeal most to us.

Track 4
This track was obviously Adele and Kanye West. This track has a lot of different possibilities for the music video because its crossing rap and soul/blues. Due to this the music video can cover many aspects which follow both genres. Could follow multiple locations and weather changes (although we can't control the weather). It's quite a reflective/ mellow song. The location could be in a forest or woods which would be fitting to the lyrics. Also due to the nature of the song the colours and lighting shouldn't be bright but should instead be fairly dull and dark.

Track 7
This track was sung by '10 bucks'. This track would be a very mellow song as it creates a sad atmosphere from the guitar solo, this song could create opportunities to create original type of a Music Video of the main location of the music video of the artist singing on a stool with his guitar, with overlaying clips of clips relating to the lyrics (one of Goodwins points). The lighting could be dark but possibly with a spotlight to emphasize the artists sadness and the mellow atmosphere, this could be re-enforced with the use of dark colors too.

Track 12
This track had the sound of Usher/ Ne-Yo due to the nature of the genre the focus and genre specifics are fairly distinctive. Normally the music video would follow the story line of the lyrics this would follow a situation within real life and would have the artists playing the 'lead'. Also within some point of the video there would be a dance routine as this fits the genre and the style of these types of artists. Another idea we had for this song is that the artist/rapper could be singing up to his girlfriend/girl he loves in a flat window while he's down on the street, which would turn the emotion of the film around and break Goodwin's points (not necessary to use his points). The location of the music video for a track like this would be inside, with 'normal' lighting.

Track 10
This song gives a feeling of happiness and energetic atmosphere, it makes the first thing that comes to your mind is a dance routine in a dance studio, perhaps ballet dancers and and they are dancing towards the beat of the music as well as the scene cuts (jump cuts) and the artist/singer which will have to be a girl (girls only in the song with bright colours) so she is walking through the dance studio, such as the Geri Halliwell - Raining Men video where she's dancing and singing in the video, but ours would have less voyeurism. This would have to have bright lighting and feminine colours such as pink etc.
