Song choice is massively important for a music video. This is because the song of choice will represent the video and vice versa, so they need to work together for the product to be successful. I believe that the music video should represent the ideas within the song. So if lyrics are about a certain time, place, or narrative, then this should be shown within the video.
For our video, we decided upon a battle scene. From here, we ended up choosing the fast paced rock song 'Barbarian' by The Darkness. We chose this video because it has strong supporting lyrics that will work with the video, the heavy genre supports a battle scene, and because it is a song that most of us listen to all the time, so it will be fun working with it.
For most heavy songs, whether this be rock, metal, etc, the video will often be fast, exciting, and full of all the logos and artwork of the band. This is because the high energy level of the video is a perfect companion to the high energy level song.
