The track for my music video Point 6

I have chosen the song "When I was a Boy" by ELO.



The genre of this song is orchestral rock/rock. The song is by ELO In their previous  music videos tend to have either a narrative or some sort of story line to follow with costumes and settings or they are just playing their instruments but they then have lots of visual effects such as PiP colour filters distortions.

A lot of bands in similar genres also often use these traits such as Queens 'I want to break free' where costume is used heavily.
