Chosen Song -'Shark' Oh Wonder



We have chosen 'Shark' by Oh Wonder as the song for our music video. Oh Wonder are a British Indie pop band consisting of Vander Gucht and Anthony West. We have decided to use this song because it links well with the indie pop genre and has different storylines we can use in our music video. We have also chosen this song because of the beat of the song, at the beginning of the song it has a slow beat but as the song goes on it gets more upbeat and lively.

This song links in with our target audience of 18-25 year olds because its not a well known big pop which audiences of this age usually listen to. Also the lyrics are a lot more grown up and deeper then a usual pop song which also links in with our target audience as 18-25 year olds will be able to interrupt the song and the music video in their own way.

An idea for a music video simple narrative would be a girl signing about her ex-boyfriend and has flashbacks to the times they spent together. To create this we could use a spilt screen of what the boy is doing and what the girl is doing at the same time but in separate places. We can also use close ups to show the emotion on her face but also to show her lip syncing. The music video will be edited to the beat to make the music video look more professional.

This song is a typical indie pop song so the conventions of the music video will be typical. For example indie pop video usually have low key lighting which we will use in our music video to make the narrative more clear but also so the audience know what the genre is.
