Post 46 - (UPDATED FINAL) Song Choice

Due to a mixed reaction from our rough music video draft we concluded with mix up's with actors and the difficulties in arranging our preferred shots became out of the question therefore we changed the song choice, the actors and the style of the music video to start from scratch and promote a more professional video to entertain the viewers.

The original song choice was Wonderwall. Despite this song being a all time classic, the Lip Syncing became technical and it was a long 3 minute song. This needed alot of footage and our actor did not suit the music video applied to the song and from that we knew changes had to be made to compete with the grade boundaries.

We conducted research online for a love song under 2 minutes that suited the warm weather as we collected some really attractive footage without film which we felt needed to be added. after brainstorming around some random footage we stumbled on the song 'Sea of Love' by Cat Power which was a song on the playlist of the film, Juno. The song was short and sweet and  we acquired a perfect actor who could not only comfortably sing and play the song on the guitar but also fitted the music video we had brainstormed. here is the song below...

Cat Power is a solo female artist whom has produced many songs throughout her career and despite being dated, she holds a very slow approach which can still comfort the audience and be of interest and she still gets promotions from 'Spotify' playlists and off YouTube as she has very classic love songs which stick to the forms and conventions of Love songs.

Here is her music video for another song..

Cat Power does not have many on Youtube either due to popularity or funding but equally we can do her justice and promote her music in the most professional and fun way so stay tuned. big things coming...
