Chosen Song - "Information" by Brian Korteling

 
Lyrics of "Information" :


"Information" by Brian Korteling

I was wishing, I was wishing too bad,
Never moving, glued to something you had,
I think I'm jumping blindly from the life raft,
Think you'd stay and I hope you have a good life,
Nothings do'n and no ones getting sleepy,
It's not just the reason for leavin',

If this is gunna turn out well,
Sure as hell ain't me to tell,
Information, strength and inspiration,
Information, give me information,

Hey sugar, you're pullin' on my leaver, 
I'm so busy, flash ya like a cleaver,
Chopping wood never felt like such a waste,
Fill your pockets and get f**ked your sad case,
I don't need your prods and motivation,
At the door without a new vocation,
Tell your troubles to someone else I'm not stuck,
Tell em' if you can, I wish you the best of luck,

If this is gunna turn out well,
Sure as hell ain't for me to tell,
If things don't turn out fine,
At least it's better than your waste of time
Information, stregnth and inspiration,
Information, give me information,

Keep changing the place where you drew the line,
A little every time, 
Til' that line is indecipherable,
Keep complaining ever-changin' how you lead your life,
If it's worth the straft,
Maybe you should make yourself comfortable,

If this is gonna turn out well,
Sure as hell ain't me to tell,
Information, stregnth and inspiration,
Information, give me information.

I've been in contact with Brian and have been exchanging emails regarding the song and our role in it, he has accepted the idea of using simple animations and is happy to go with most ideas we have. To access his website click the link HERE.

Three videos with most media appeal to me.

First one is done by Jet, called "Cold Hard Bitch", this appeals to me most, as the use of different camera angles used and the video puts us with the audience and the artists, as they are doing ordinary things that a band would do, signing, playing, hugging and socialising.



Another music video which appeals to me a lot is a song by Travis, called "Why does it always rain on me", this is because the song can be related often to our own lfies, it talks about how life can be hard on you, but you can bounce back.

One more video to come- due to the various computers not playing sound at school, will be completing it at home asap.

Chosen song

We have selected a song which has the most suitable lyrics, and song to create a music video around, this song can be listened to at http://tiny.cc/mq13fw 
The artist has given his go ahead with the music video, after me emailing him today, we hope to give keep him up to date on what we plan to do.
We hope to aim for a simple animation like the opening titles to "Russell Howards Good News" (Below). This can be mainly possible due to one of the members in our group (Austen Nutall), who is currently taking animation at the Hewett as an A Level, we hope his animation skills will give us the unique music video we are after. 
In the music video we hope to cut between animation and live shots of Brian Korteling playing his song, "Information", the animation, we hope, will reveal a story behind the song.
This plan is very much a skeleton plan at the moment, and will be "beefed" up soon.
