PROBLEM AND OUTCOME 1

Our first task was to find a song to use for our music video. To do this we used the website ‘www.mp3unsigned.com’. However, we had trouble trying to find one that we liked. We didn't know what type of genre to go for as we had different ideas for different genres that we all liked and so coming up with a genre was the first problem. As we couldn’t find a song to use, we decided to search and look at different songs and select a few that we liked so that we could share them with the rest of the group. We then all came together and chose the song for our music video. The song we decided on is called ‘Photographs’ by an indie band named, ‘Ghostlight’. We all really liked the song because it was different and a song from the indie genre allowed us to experiment with different codes and conventions because it sounds like a mixture of pop and rock and we thought that we would be able to produce a range of different ideas. Even though we found the song on ‘www.youtube.com’ we only used the website to listen to the song and we didn't use it to influence our music video in any way.
