New Song

When editing our video by chance we came across the Song Save You by Matthew Perryman Jones and experimented with it as the track for our music video. As a group we were all really fond of it. We felt that the video gave the lyrics more meaning and the fact that the song was shorter allowed us to fill the video with our footage without the need to film irrelevent shots for the video.

This song talks about 'saving' the idea links with the death of our male actor and the female actress wanting to have saved him. The female actress is looking back and it was 'a mess' because she couldn't prevent him from leaving her to go to war and she couldn't prevent him from dying.  'i want to fly away' suggests the idea the female actress wants to be in heaven with her loved one however she is not she is 'stuck on the ground.' The lyrics show the female actress wants to let go but is unable to because she is having flashbacks of their time together.

We played both of these versions to our class and all of them agreed that they prefer 'Save You' because it evoked more emotion. My class ranges in ethnicity, gender and age so i was able to get a wide variety of feedback.
