Possible Song Choices:

After researching Ellie Goulding's songs, I found two which I really liked and really suited the style for my music video. One is called Dead in the Water and the other is My Blood. Both of them are from her most recent album Halcyon and neither have official music videos.

Dead in the Water:

 

 

My Blood

 

After listening to both carefully and studying the lyrics and rhythm, I have decided to use My Blood as my chosen song for my music video. The reason for this is because Dead in the Water is too slow and even in the chorus the beat doesn't speed up. I found My Blood much more entertaining to listen to which means that the target audience will. I also feel I can do much more with this song in terms of the music video because it feels as if more is happening and I can vary the editing according to the speed of the rhythm in different parts of the song.
