Lyrics
We’ve been growing up in the same old time from 3 feet tall some of us met eyes
Who knew we’d be sharing secrets for then
Things have changed yes we have changed but together we have stayed
No one knew wed be sharing secrets for ever
Thanks for this complex world
That dragged the land away from the sea so we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west
Wouldn’t think of anything less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
We’ve been backwards forward up and down in life
Just trying to do what’s right in life
I love the way you we joke around always spell bound
Photographs films places we’ve been put them in a box seal them in
Rain days will never ever ever be doomed
Thanks for this complex world that dragged the land away from the sea
So we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west wouldn’t think of any less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
I know were meant to be together we’ve been climbing trees together
Scraping our knees
Together forever
(sniffle)
Thanks for this complex world that dragged the land away from the sea
So we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west wouldn’t think any less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
I think were free
We’ve been growing up in the same old time from 3 feet tall some of us met eyes
Who knew we’d be sharing secrets for then
Things have changed yes we have changed but together we have stayed
No one knew wed be sharing secrets for ever
Thanks for this complex world
That dragged the land away from the sea so we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west
Wouldn’t think of anything less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
We’ve been backwards forward up and down in life
Just trying to do what’s right in life
I love the way you we joke around always spell bound
Photographs films places we’ve been put them in a box seal them in
Rain days will never ever ever be doomed
Thanks for this complex world that dragged the land away from the sea
So we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west wouldn’t think of any less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
I know were meant to be together we’ve been climbing trees together
Scraping our knees
Together forever
(sniffle)
Thanks for this complex world that dragged the land away from the sea
So we could be together using the waves for free
We’ve been north east south and west wouldn’t think any less now
Like the waves were longing to be free
I think were free

Survey Results
The results of our survey are as followed:
When we asked 30 people questions about what they preferred to see in a music video, to help us create the perfect video for our target audience.
In the 30 people that we asked 16 were female and 14 were male.
4 of whom were 16 8 were eighteen and 18 were seventeen, this concludes that we will have to be basing our music video around the specific results, in summery we will have to use ideas and points based on the age and gender.
The majority of the people we asked only watch videos for less than one hour a day, therefore a video should really statnd out and intrigue the audience into watching ours.
The most popular music channel was MTV and was also the most popular to watch. Our video should be something very simliar to those MTV play this should create a bigger audience and better feedback.
The preferred music genre is rock; therefore we will use a rock band to correspond with our results.
However the most popular music video is Beyonce - Single ladies which is a poplar R&B artist. Therefore our video could have some elements of an R&B video. This however would be hard to create as most videos for R&B artists involve clubs, which our group will not be able to film in legally.
The least popular music video was Lady Gaga – Poker face and Westlife – Mandy which are both pop songs so we can gather from our results that pop videos are the least popular.
The most popular artist at the moment which is suggested from our results is Calvin Harris, who is an electro artist, the editing in the videos are usually fast paced to match his up tempo genre.
When asked if they prefer narrative or performance based videos 18 people prefer narrative where as 12 people like performance based videos, this contradicts with our pervious result of the preferred genre being rock as most rock videos are usually performance based.
Furthermore when asked if they prefer linear to non-linear, 18 people prefer linear and 12 people prefer non linear, therefore our music video shall be linear.
The most popular setting for a music video is a city with 8 votes, this could be a possible setting for our music video, however it could be quite a problem trying to organise trying to get the group together at the same period of time in this setting. The next most popular areas are a house and a field which both got 6 votes, these areas are a lot easier to get to and organise so they could be more convenient setting to shoot our music video.
We asked the question, should the video include the band or artist? Our results show that people prefer to see the artist/band, this could correspond with our most popular genre of rock.
We then asked if they should play as themselves or a character, themselves was the most popular choice.
Our results also show that the audience prefer a music video to illustrate the lyrics. So when choosing our song we as a group need to focus on the lyrics, which ever song has the most simple lyrics to portray we will use.
When asked if they prefer slow or fast music, they chose fast, therefore our music video should correspond with our results and be faced paced editing.
Yet the video should be realistic as this is the preferred choice of our target audience. This will be easier for our group, as we have a limited time.
The video will also be in colour as only 13 people enjoy this effect. This is ironic as the most popular video, Beyonce - Single ladies, is in Black & white throughout the video.
We have also decided to not use a dance routine in our video as 19 people dont like to see them this is another benifit for our group as we do not have the time to choreograph a routine.
Were going to have an animal because this is what they want to see. An animal will automatically make our video more loveable, the majoirty of our questionares were answered by girls, stereotypically they will really enjoy the cute loveable animal aspect of our video.
We also asked what the audience would like to see in the digi pack, a DVD was the most popular choice, as this could be quite hard to produce we could opt for the second highest result which was artwork

Codes and Conventions
After taking our survey results into consideration we thought we should also follow the codes and convetions that apear in the music videos that we have analysed over the past weeks.
The most common factor throughout the videos was that the video amplified the lyrics in the song. When we begin to storyboard our video, we shall take this into high consideration.
How we portray the artist is also very important, the genre of music depends on the representation we will use, we have chose a rock band. Our video will be very simialr to those of other rock bands. This includes a performance which is a common aspect of a rock video, this will iclude lip syncing. To help portray the artist we will also consider the mise en scene to emphasise the bands personality.
When we start to edit out video, we need to make sure that the edits match the pace of the music.
There should be a wide variety of camera angles, alot of close ups, tracking shots and crane shots should be used to follow the usual conventions of a music video.
The simple narrative of our videos should be linear as most videos are, also it should come to a close, a music video is a short film which should come to an ending, no cliff hanger will be in our music video. The story line should be quite simple, yet not boring. To match the simple narrative we will use a simple realistic setting, this is a very common convention in the music videos we have watched. We need to attract people with our video, we will use special effects however in the time space that we have we will have to use quite simple special effects, which is an advantage to us as most videos use simple effects such as slow motion very often.
