Our teacher gave our class a list of about 10 music videos. We were all put into different groups and each group had to choose a music video to recreate the first 30 seconds of. The list included Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up, Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love? and The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony. We chose the latter because it would be simple to recreate the Verve's lead singer Richard Ashcroft walking down a street in a leather jacket. Another advantage would be that only one camera angle was needed and we wouldn't need to move the cameras around. Also, conveniently, a high street is nearby to the school.
In terms of information about the song, it is recognisable ever since it became successful in 1997 and the music video was used for inspiration in 1998 for the famous Fat Les - Vindaloo, which was also successful. They were both No 2 in the chart, but not No 1.
