Planning: Song Choice

The choice of song for our music video is:

 Band: Paramore Song: Misery Business

A brief history of the song:
The track was the lead single from their second studio album 'Riot!' and the video produced to promote its release was nominated for the 'Best Video' award at the Kerrang! Awards 2007, an awards ceremony spawned by the popular music magazine aimed at a teenage demographic. It was featured on the soundtracks to an array of videogames including the sport genre's 'NHL 08', the action-adventure 'Saint's Row 2' as well as being featured as a playable song within the music franchises of 'Guitar Hero', 'Rock Band' and 'Lips'. The fact the song is featured on both a sport and an action-adventure videogame reflects it's uptempo nature, while it's playablity in the music franchise shows its popularity; the music video of 'Misery Business' - shown below - has (as of 15/11/2011) fifty-one million views on the global broadcasting website YouTube.
