We decided to change the initial song 'London Calling' by The Clash to 'Someday' by The Strokes. We decided to change the song due to us feeling that 'London Calling' was too much of an iconic song which would make it harder to break away from the original image. As we did not want to recreate we decided to change the song. As well as this we also felt that the topics of 'London Calling' were too heavy for our music video and we felt the issues raised in the song (issues such as Nuclear threats emerging from the Cold War) would be hard to convert into a video. All though these issues could be modernised there is not a lot we could translate the issues into.
We have changed the song to 'Someday' by The Strokes, as it is more relatable and we could translate more of themes of the song into our video. It is also more modern, meaning that ideas of the song would be easier to represent.
