Week three
This week was a week of challenge as i had to decide which genre of artist i wanted and then find a song of an unsigned artist which i found to be a hard task. I first used http://www.unsigned.com to look for an artist and a song however i didn't like any of the songs and i didn't feel that any of the songs would make a strong music video. So i searched on YouTube to find Once in a lifetime by Landon Austin which i loved from the moment i found it because i could see the music video i wanted. Even though the genre was completely different from my first idea this song worked for me as i could see my ideas. I chose this song mainly because i liked the tempo and the feel of the song and i felt like i could make a music video which kept peoples attention but subverted common ideas. I am also familiar with indie genre making the song easier to picture a idea. The lyrics of the song are meaningful and i feel like my audience would be able to relate to the lyrics and understand the song.
I then had to get permission and analyse the lyrics of the song which took up the second half of this week. I got permission by emailing the artist directly and asking for permission, he replied quickly making it easier to move on with the next task of analysing the lyrics.
Deciding the song i wanted to use was the biggest decision this week by far as i had to be sure i could make a video for this song. The key concept which we have been focusing on this week was genre where we had to analyse different music video by looking at the genres.
