Choosing a song

When we first came together as a group things seemed to flow nicely, with no tension between ideas. However this soon changed, we faced decisions on locations, song choices, and filming ideas difficult to put together. I think we forgot that we can use more than just one idea, instead we thought we had to focus on one idea and expand it. After numerous discussions and few minor disagreements we decided to use VV Brown's 'Shark in the water' song, we thought this was a good idea given the group circumstances (ratio of girls to boys). The song tells the story of a woman in a relationship who's boyfriend is having an affair. She is aware oWhen we heard the song and researched into the lyrics we instantly had ideas of what we could do. However we wasn't ready to let go of Ellie Goulding and her way of expressing her music. We particularly liked the video to her version of 'Your Song'. So instead of using this song we have to decided to incorporate some of the codes and conventions she has used into our music video.
