The first song we listened to when we had narrowed down our song choices was Warriors by Imagine Dragons. We really liked the storyline and the lyrics of the song. It is a lot shorter than our Fall Out Boy choice which also came into our decision a lot. The main reason we doubt this one is because it is just under 3 minutes and from doing the preliminary task last year, we found it quite difficult to fit in everything we wanted to into a short space of time. We have quite a strong narrative idea for this one and we aren't sure how we would be able to fit everything into such a short song.
There also aren't very many lyrics available to interpret and focus in on.
The narrative idea for this song is two people - a runner and a dancer - who have been pushing and working since they were a child to follow their dreams in their passion of sport. We wanted to tell the story of each character from being a young child all the way up through their teenage years and into adulthood.
The narrative would show them being very worn out and tired as a child after training and rehearsals, being upset about missing out on things with their friends because they have to attend rehearsals and training, followed up at the end by them finally getting to where they want to be in their sport. We would highlight the struggle they went through and how they didn't give up despite being so tired and missing out on things as they were growing up. It would all be worth it and they are "warriors" for getting through it and showing people who doubted them that they can do it and they got to where they wanted to be. Upon listening to the song we decided we could create some powerful shots using slow motion and other clever editing techniques which parallel the worlds of other teenagers against the two our story will focus on.
Looking at both songs will be important at this stage in deciding which route we definitely want to go down.
