We finally decided to use 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster the People, this is an upbeat song and we plan to use three boys and film most of our video in London, we have chosen this location because the band is from California so it would be difficult for us to stay true to the origin of the band, so we are aiming to make the band seem British as opposed to American, and what better way to portray this to the audience, than to use London! The landmarks are easily noticed as being British and the scenery is urban.
Foster the People have only released one album, 'torches', and since its release in may 2011 it has already won, aswell as being nominated for, over six awards in 2011 alone. As well as this, they played in the NME tent at Reading, only second behind the headliners and the album has already gone platinum. The band are well known in the indie genre so this is why we have chosen their song; people would want to watch the music video if they had already heard the song.
As this picture shows, Foster the people have won 3 awards, two of which were for the specific song, 'pumped up kicks', from the album and one for the new artist of the year. They have been nominated for awards from big names such as MTV, Q, BRIT Awards and NME. Considering the fact that the album only came out just over a year ago, that is a long list of awards. This is another reason why we want to use this song for our music video, it is a well known song and we are fans of the band so we would like to do the song/album justice.
This picture shows that the band have only released one album, but three singles which would add to the recognition that the band gains, the best received one of these singles was actually Pumped up Kicks which is why we have chosen to do this song.
