2. Rejected Ideas :Avril Lavigne- โI'm with
youโ
โข This music video has a slow beat as opposed to an
upbeat one like all the other possible ideas we came
up with. At first we felt this was a unique idea that
would present simplicity with a modern twist to it.
However, we decided not to go forward with it as we
believed more could be done with a upbeat track.

3. Rejected Ideas: Rihanna - Umbrellas
โข We also considered picking this video
because itโs a viewed as a renowned and
iconic video that has a unique style and
structure making it so memorable. The
lyrics of the song would also make it
possible to construct a narrative video
which could be fairly manageable task to
pursue. Unfortunately, the iconic status of
this particular piece proved to be a negative
issue for us as this meant we had a certain
expectation to live up to. Also matching up
to the effects of this would also prove
difficult reinforcing our decision to reject
this idea.

4. Rejected Ideas: Beyoncรฉ- Check up on
it
โข We really liked the idea and theme of this music video, but felt it was not a
practical option. This is because it is solely performative, restricting how
much can be done with it. Initially, we are looking for a music video that
can adapt a hybrid genres, therefore could not use this video. Although,
we managed to use aspects of the video to inspire us for our own music
video, taking one of the per formative scenes from video and considering
to use it in our own video.

This is the exact scene we plan
to replicate in our video.
5. Final Idea :Truth Hurts-Addictive
โข We decided to use this song
because it embraced a combination
of two areas we both had
knowledge on . For example the
record is an RโnโB song which Yinka
had grown up listening to so now
knows the typical conventions of
an RโnโB music video. Also Aisha's
Asian heritage allows us to properly
explore/convey the Asian themes
within the original video efficiently.
Alongside those points we liked
fact this video confirmed to rโnโb
conventions of its time (e.g.
rappers featuring it them) but also
challenged the conventions (e.g.
The use of a different cultures
recording track to make the beat)
so we believed it would be an
interesting music video and song to
adapt
