I have chosen to do a song by Sam Smith for my Media Portfolio as I feel that I can relate to him through the themes of his songs and videos and althought I have thought about using his songs "Stay With Me" and "I'm Not The Only One" - I feel now that it will more suited to do the even more of a cameo-story style song "Leave Your Lover."
This song by Sam Smith; involves the story of love, and not so much heartbreak in the break-up sense, but heartbreak in the way that you really want somebody. The lyrics say "Leave your lover, leave him for me." Which can be manipulated to fit any person's experiences in their lives. I feel that Sam Smith is an appropriate choice of artist to perform, as my original influences would've been Christina Aguilera or Beyoncé-esque kind of music videos, but I thought it would be irrelevant to shoot a music video of me, and other characters, with a female singing lead vocals.
So after thinking long and hard about an appropriate artist, I have finally chosen to perform Leave Your Lover by Sam Smith.
I completed a video analysis of "I'm Not The Only One" by Sam Smith, where I typed what happened in the video, so I could get an idea of setting, order, positioning, editing and style. After watching the "Leave Your Lover" video, I thought it would be beneficial to carry out another video analysis, as this is now my final choice & I can complete this for my Media Portfolio in an easier way.
