Research

These were our ideas:

We looked at owl city's song called "Rainbow Veins" but we both thought that it wasn't upbeat enough for what we wanted.

We started researching male artists but had difficulty finding many unknown artists that we liked and thought were talented. Luckily we did find an unknown artist called 'Sam Ysui', which we both agreed was the type of thing we were looking for. Below are some of his songs that we looked at.

We watched a few of his video's and we found a duet he sang with a girl named 'Christina Gimmie' which we loved and thought they were really talented too.

We came to the decision after viewing multiple videos of his that this was the song we wanted to use for our coursework. This then helped us to develop ideas for our own music video and what we were going to include in within it.

The video we decided to use was a cover, so we decided to look at the original for further ideas. We both agreed that we didn't like the video to the original as it was too dull and in black and white. It was also was only a single artist and we liked how in the cover it was a duet which showed the relationship in the song.

Brief

Megan Swanson and Casey Humphris Music Video Project

BRIEF:

1. A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
2. a website homepage for the band;
3. a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package);
4. a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package).

I have decided I am going to work with Casey Humphris on my Media Music video project as I am good friends with her and I personally think we work well together as a team. I think we will both help each others strengths and weaknesses and produce a good project.

We have both decided on making a music video, a cover release as part of a digipak and a magazine advertisement for our coursework.

We have decided on researching into some different, less conventional type of music to put our music video. We are going to try to look into artists that arent as well known in the music industry. We are going to still target a music genre which would interest our own age group, 16-21 years of age and probably girls in particular. We are going to keep our options open when deciding what music to use, whether it is a single artist or a band.
