Numb- Why we chose it

Oh Land – Numb

The song Numb by Oh Land fits into a variety of genres dissimilar to her usual, stereotypical work that can be classed as alternative pop.

Instead she experiments in the electronica genre and on the basis of this lies our interest in her.

This song currently has no music video which also attracted me to it because it prevents any ideas being borrowed and encourages originality and a blank page to start from.

When searching for a song I originally had no idea on a possible idea, however when hearing this song for the first time, ideas on narrative, character, cinematography and location all became apparent. I think it is the electronica and alternative vibe of the song that gives so many options for a video. We thought that the song was quite dark and ominous so hopefully our final music video will mirror this. Our idea also has aspects of fantasy and surrealism due to the unique sounds of Oh Land.
