6) In what order would you rate these 4 music videos? (1 being the best and 4 being the worst)

Foo Fighters – The Pretender (1)

The Killers – Human (3)

Nickelback-Far Away (2)

Arcade Fire – The Suburbs (4)

I really like the pretender's video thus will try and copy their style. It is mainly performance based though so I will take ideas from Nickelback as they are well known for creating interesting storylines in their music videos.

7) After listening to the song Run what do you think the music video should consist of?

Ideas that came up the most were:

Struggle

Conflict

Love

Confusion

I will definitely try and use the ideas of struggle and conflict also I will try and show the confused state of mind my character is in. I must make sure to use postmodernism as well as I want to create something unique and innovative. The love between the characters could be expressed possibly through flashbacks.
