R + P Post 8: Possible tracks for the single

In our first group project meeting we sat down and went through lots of songs on YouTube which I noted down in my media folder. We really wanted to pick a song from a non-mainstream genre and ideally the artist would be London based.

We started by looking at Mura Masa - What If I Go :


             

Positives:

• Feel good/upbeat and light-hearted
• Use of Electronic sounds-genre is 'Dance/Electronic'
• Musical sounds with potential to cut shots to (cutaways can be incorporated)
• Song builds up with a start, middle and bridge
• Lasts exactly 3 minutes

Negatives:

• Same kind of beat the whole way through the song-could be restrictive
• Lyrics could be restrictive-about relationships
• Repetitive
• When listening to the song without the video we didn't like it as much-a bit boring

Chase and Status Blk&Blu :

            

Positives:

• Electronic sounds-urban feel (genre is Dance/Electronic)
• Lyrics open for interpretation
• We all like the song and are familiar with it

Negatives:

• Song doesn't really build up
• Being very familiar with the music video might make it hard to keep it out of mind when making our own video
• Too long-would have to cut it down

AlunaGeorge - I Remember

Positives:

• Electronica of genre
• AlunaGeorge is a more niche artist so won't seem like a parody video

Negatives:

• Repetitive 
• Too long (4.50) - would have to cut it down
• We want a more happy/uplifting song - this one's quite depressing
