Song Details

The Maccabees - Pelican

 

We have decided to use The Maccabees single Pelican for our music video. Initially we decided we wanted to use a song that had an ambient feel to it, as we want to express the element of youth, and the celebration of youth. This song has an incredibly simple pulse/beat (4/4). This is incredibly convenient as it means we can creatively add whatever we feel is necessary during the editing stages. The fact that the actual music is simple is also convenient to us, as it means that the actors will easily be able to mime the instrumental parts. Overall we just feel that this song ticks all the boxes for the original ambient, alternative indie rock elements we want to represent.

Initial Ideas

This is a combination of my groups initial ideas towards all aspects of creating our music video. We decided to choose the genre of Indie Rock as we all feel that we are incredibly familiar with indie rock music, and the bands of the genre. We also feel as though perhaps we could represent the genre of Indie Rock best; being as we are all young, and indie rock is about celebrating youth.
