That's really up to you. Your video. You pick something that fits in whatever way. Be it the emotion feeling you got (elation?) be it the fast paced action (fast beat?) -- totally subjective.

It's an art that must be practiced to become proficient. So practice by picking a song and see if the end result works.

Well, if you're not making a MUSIC video, you need sounds still. Otherwise it's incomplete. Gunfire, explosions, booms, engines.... You can't just leave it blank or folks really won't enjoy it as much.

My $0.02

In a music video the music needs to fit the action. Also the ideal time for a video is 3-5 minutes. Any longer and you may have trouble keeping a viewer's interest unless it's very good.

I like to actually base my video around my song selection, I also enjoy matching video clips to the beats in the song. Both bass drum beats, and tempos as well. ie if it's a slow part in the song I'll put in a slow dog fight scene or something else creative.

I usually do most of my videos quite fast paced though, to keep the energy.

As for actually choosing music, it just depends on what you want to put in it. Most of my music is from favorite songs. Just depends on what you think feels fit, it's your video after all!

You will learn to love making films...it takes a while to get used to...but once you get 'the routine' down it's easy to crank out a film and make it look good.
Here is my youtube channel thingy. It's got a couple films on it if you are looking for ideas:
