Song Choice

We chose the song ‘Hold Back the River’, by James Bay, due to the strong imagery it presented. As we decided we wanted a solely narrative based video (as opposed to including live action); having a clear storyline, one that would capture our audience’s attention, was of vital importance. We also chose the song based on the variety it offered. We thought the sudden changes in pace would create a less stable structure for the video and therefore intrigue our audience more, as the video would be less predictable. We also knew it would help us at the editing stage, as the layers of the song (the gradual addition of different instruments) and changes in tempo meant that we would have clear markers of when one shot needs to end and the next start.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
