Song Decision

Tuesday 15th September

Since deciding to pursue pop as my genre. I have been trying to find a song which is appropriate for the style video I hope to achieve. I have been looking at songs which has lyrics which can be performed, but a fast pace beat which I could edit each shot to fit to. I have looked on websites such as MP3 Unsigned, to find obscure artists, as well as Youtube.

Option 1 - Not Letting Go by Tinie Tempah ft Jess Glynne

I believe having different gender performers featured in the video will keep the audience interested, as I would be able to include different partner dance moves. I would choose two people who have visual chemistry, which can be portrayed through the dance moves and camera angles. I think this would appeal to the song's target audience. However this song is very popular, and already has a music video would appeals to the target audience.

Option 2 -  Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye (Kygo Remix).

I like the idea of using a remix of an older song, as it more likely to have a wider audience. I also like the beat in this song, however being 6 minutes long I felt offered too much of a challenge. It would be near enough impossible to keep the audience interested for the whole time.

Final Choice - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off by Ella Eyre (Whipped cream remix).

I have decided to use this song as I feel my video idea and song compliment each other well. This song is a remix by Ella Eyre covering an original song, which therefore  The slow opening will allow me to set the scene, while the quick beat throughout the song will allow me to edited the clips together in similar way to the 100 Places of Dance video.
