Song ideas

Before I start mixing and editing video for the music video I need to choose which song is most appropriate.

There are many songs by Damh the Bard which would fit perfectly for the video I've already taken. My favorite three are Spirit of Albion, Sons and daughters of Robin hood and Merlin am I.

Spirit of Albion has I think the right tempo and correct lyrics to fit the theme of the video shots I've taken. I can cross the message of british landscape quite easily because the song is about Britain's isles.

Sons and daughters of robin hood would entail a slightly different approach. I feel with this option I would need more of a story, smilar to how Adam and the Ants do the video Stand and dilever make the abstract tale of a lone highway man. This would therefore require some costumes and reliable actors to pull off effectively, while also have the actors filmed in the right place, but seeing as guildford is fairly wooded around it this wouldn't be a great problem.
 The benefit of this option is in the lyrics, the strong political messages would allow for some interesting diversity in the screen play side of production (possibly a humorous sketch involving one of the actors imitating a famous politician)...

The third option, Merlin Am I is my backup. It lies somewhere between the two above options in terms of difficulty, and is quite a solitary song so only I and one actor would be required to make it happen. however it has an overal sad theme to it and the references to war may actually be quite effective in this current climate (war to the left of us in the east and war to the west of us in Wall-street).

The best option may be to create a story board for each option and then decide which would be the best to do in terms of time scale, cost and how much extra footage it would take to shoot.
