As a group we decided primarily to focus more on looking for artists that weren't very well known but also had creative lyrics that we could use as the basis for our own music video. We decided to start by looking through the new releases from Spotify and we managed to come up with a mind map showing all the artists we looked at. Our chosen artist is featured on this mind map however we did not discover them on Spotify, it was a suggestion from one of the group members.
We also wanted to look at artist that weren't very well know and one of the group members thought it would be interesting to look at a variety of different singers from the Eurovision song contest as we believed that these are generally unknown artists. Below is the list the we made as a group, it contains a couple of songs that we liked, what country it was representing and the year it was in the contest.
Once we had chosen the artist we decided to look through a couple of different songs by that artist so we could look at the lyrics and see if we could both agree on one song. The tree songs we looked at were, 'We are the people', 'Alive' ,'Walking on a dream'. We started by finding and printing the lyrics of each song, afterwards we decided to make a list of the pros and cons of each song.
The first song that we looked at was Alive by Empire of the sun. we decided to start off by looking at the lyrics again and listening to the song and we commented on the speed and tempo and well as the way it sounds. As you can see from the photo above we found more pros than cons for this song, we liked the tempo and we thought that it was quite nice on the ear.
The next song we looked into was 'Walking on a dream' also by Empire of the sun. We liked this song the lyrics were very creative but there was only one direction we could take the song, so it didn't offer much diversity. However, the song had a good tempo and a good rhythm.
The last song we looked at was called 'We are the people' also by Empire of the sun. Again we liked the tempo and the rhythm to the song and the lyrics were very creative however, we were put off by the length of the song. this song was around 5 minutes long whereas the other two were around 3 minutes.
In the end after considering all of the different pros and cons of the tree different songs we decided to go with the first song that we looked at - Alive. We believe that we could easily come up with a good narrative to this song and it has a good tempo and beat so it would be easier to edit.
