NW Track Response from Class - 'Give Yourself Away', by Jack Peñate


Posted by Nick

After a group discussion, we have decided to use the song 'Give Yourself Away', by Jack Peñate .

The song has an energetic and lively atmosphere, with a large variety of instruments, ranging from cow-bells to bass guitar, and thus we hope to create a concept based video for the track, with a variety of influences apparent, using elaborate costumes and make up, as well as stop motion animation.

When we pitched our idea for our song to the class, they gave a lot of positive feedback about our song choice as well as the ideas which we presented, with new thoughts about what could be done coming from different people, giving us ideas on locations, (for example, the song is quite lively and thus cannot be shot in car parks or on rainy days, which will draw emphasis onto the cold), on costume, (for example, it may not be able to use elaborate costumes as they may cost a fair amount), and editing, (for example using stop motion animation, as well as the use of the green screen, offering opportunities to show the artist in a number of different locations, all put in during the editing process).

I am extremely happy with the class feedback, and I know the rest of my group is too, and we will take all ideas through with us when creating our video.
