To make our music video we needed to find the perfect song which fitted the biref given and the target audience. Finding the perfect song for our music video was actually very hard too do. Sometimes you would find a song and it would of been a signed singer, For our song chocie it had to be something that we wouldnt be bored with, what we think an audience would like to here and obviously and unsigned singer.
Finding the right song took a lot of our time up, we were constaly sending messages back and forth to different local acts and bands and getting no reply. We stumbled upon a couple of unsigned singers but we just didn't feel their song suited our likings.
We searche don YouTube alot and then suddenly we stumbled across a youtube channel called "Drew Tabor" she is a young girl who uploads alot of acoustic covers, we found a link in the video descriptions to her youtube channel to her new EP. I then took down this information and searched her name in google and nothing suggested that she was signed which means that she was an unsigned singer on youtube with one great song. I played the song to my fellow group member Erica Hall, and we could both see different scenarios in our head. So we decided to email Drew on facebook also on Youtube, We got an instant reply which gave us our first choice in song. The interesting thing is that we didn't think we would get a reply for Drew as she has aload of views on her videos which we thought would be impossible to get in contact with us. When Drew replied back it was a shock.
Our second choice was from a girl in a band called Sunday Lane. She's rather chilled out and when we found her sond we also pictured the different scenarios running through our heads. We emailed Sunday Lane asking for there permisson and happily she allowed us.
It took us at least 1 day to Narrow down to the final song, The final song that we decided to go with is Drew Tabor "Silver Lights". The reason for this is because she is a rather well known person on You Tube and has a big fan base which allows us to get more views and a wider audience on the music video to be interested enough ion watching it. Furhtermore we felt that her tone and her style of music fitted the target audience all together. We saw positivity and good vibes from this song choice and its something that we hope to apply to our music video. I'm very happy with the song choice for our music video and so is Erica Hall. Were going to carry on researching and planning into the music video and come up with a lot more ideas.
