Our first song was Scumbag City Blues by The Strypes. We decided that we should change the song but not the idea. Our first choice of song was too constant and didn't start the way we wanted it to. We would like something to start off quite calm and build up to a heavy beat that's why we found two songs, 'The Healing - Gary Clark Jr' and 'What Went Down - FOALS'. The Healing was a great song with a relatable narrative that would cohere and enhance the video's meaning. However the song was too dull and didn't build up any tension. We then decided to use 'What Went Down' as it builds up power through the music and lyrics which compliments our idea of a boy overcoming obstacles in his hard life. We wanted to keep our main focus on an organic artist but one who is a part of a band. Gary Clark Jr is a solo artist but we would like to feature a band so it shows how we have the music isn't synthetically manufactured by a company. Plus we are promoting a band that has similar qualities to FOALS so it means we have something to work with.
