Song Choice

After much discussion, as a group we have picked, with deliberation, the song we wish to create a music video for. Pink Floyd's 'Great Gig In The Sky' follows not only the heavy psychedelic themes we were aiming for, it also incorporates a powerful narrative structure. Our focus on a psychedelic piece was firstly out of our musical taste, but also to allow us to include interesting and unusual uses of cinematography throughout our piece. This would not appear out of place within this genre of music, as the psychedelic genre reflects the zeitgeist of the 1960s - 1970s due to the strong involvement of hallucinogenic drugs. The strong narrative is also particularly helpful; allowing us to follow this in creating a powerful piece to match the constant emotion felt whilst listening to the strong vocals in sections of the song.
