Researching Other Song Ideas

We created a list of songs on YouTube that we thought could be used and were based on war and peace. Once we eliminated ones we didn't were suitable we were left with 7 songs to choose from.

My Chemical RomanceWe liked the speed of the song as we discovered that a fast-paced song is useful as we could use fast shots to show meaning and describe the lyrics and meaning. We also liked the fact that there was quieter, calmer moments between the choruses and solos where the video would be able to change its pace to perhaps introduce to further the storyline. However, we weren't particularly keen on the song and weren't quite sure how to interpret the lyrics or if they would fit the base-line idea that we had thought of.

Rise Against
We both liked the song as it held quite a lot of emotion and described very well the idea of soldiers fighting in the war and all the atrocities that they had to commit. We found this quite an interesting idea. Though we liked the simplicity of the song, with it being just a singer and an acoustic guitar, we found that it would probably difficult to made a music video for, as it is quite long and slow.

New Model ArmyI liked this song as it was quite well paced and I could imagine making a music video for this song. However, it is quite a long song, lasting over 5 minutes and although I was rather keen on this song as I thought it could work if we were able to cut it down, Lisa did not agree with it as it wasn't the kind of song she liked. So we decided to keep on looking, as we would both have to agree on a song that we both liked.
