Looking at this footage I realized that the bulk of it centered around country scenes in Cornwall, especially within Bodmin and some from wales. This country theme of stone circles and winding tracks made me think of the folk songs I would listen to on holiday in the car when I was younger (and still do). This led me to rethink my music choice in favor of a folk song such as one by Clannad, Jethro Tull or Damh the Bard etc.
Choosing any of the artists above would mean a far less chaotic video (in terms of editing) resulting in something altogether smoother in trying to blend with the flow of the music.
Before I edit the footage together that I've taken I'm strongly drawn to the song called Spirit of Albion by Damh The Bard.
I find this song lends itself lyrically quite strongly to the footage I have taken as well as having obvious points in the lyrics which could be edited to the verse, for instance:
" An isle so fair, a isle so green,
Known by many names."" An isle so fair, a isle so green,
When the, "known by many names" tolls I could have a scene come up where lots of quick shots of road signs appear in succession but seen through a semi opaque filter effect.
"Feel the pulse, the pulse of the land,
The blood boils within your veins."
Whatever footage is being shown here the effect would be that when he says pulse the scene would ripple or quickly expand forward to represent a sort of visual metaphor like the video is alive. Perhaps the scene could turn red as he says, "The blood boils within your veins" obviously to express the anger of Damh the Bard.
