Change in Song

Whilst storyboarding the video for 'The Man Comes Around' we decided that we were going to change which song we're doing. Instead of Johnny Cash we have decided to make a video for a local band, 'The Ivories'. We decided this because we know the band personally, and they are willing to appear in the video. This will allow us to add an extra sense of authenticity to the video, rather than have someone pretending to be Johnny Cash in the video, and they will know how to play their songs without someone else having to learn them to mime to the music. Also we can talk with the band and they can contribute their own ideas to the video, as many bands do with professional music videos, and when we have made the video they can use it as an actual promotional tool. The song of theirs that we will be doing is 'My Fair Lady' from their EP 'Walk The Steps'. The genre of the band is acoustic/alternative/indie, so it terms of forms and conventions of music videos we will have to look into typical features of those genres.
