Lesson 2

In todays lesson we were placed into our groups for our A2 coursework project. I'm currently in a group of three of which we have all searched the internet for songs with under ten thousand streams. The reasoning for this is because if we were to use a song that loads of people know but have someone else acting as though they have sung the song then our video would be taken down. So it is really important that all of the songs on this lists are most likely unknown.

In this lesson we put together a list of the different songs that we had all found. Some of the songs simply didn't make it onto the sheet purely because of the fact that they ended up being too simplistic so we decided to not write them down. 

The first song that we wrote down was 'Smile Like That' by Terror Jr.Some of the good things about this song is that they are a male and female duo meaning that there is good opportunity to try and get several people involved, Both of the signers are young making casting selection easy. Also the entire narrative of the song is relatable to young people meaning that it could be deemed as more marketable. 

The second song that we wrote down was Quarantine. I featured as well as produced this song meaning that we have full access to it. The song itself also fits in with our generations current music taste meaning that a wider audience would enjoy consuming this product. 

The third song that we wrote down on the list was a song called 'Midnight Blue' by an all male band called Loveless Death Scene. This song had some good positives to it. For example, the lead singers voice sounds young which is a really good thing as it will mean that we will have a broader selection idea when it comes to looking for someone. The next positive point is that it is upbeat. Considering that it is a band and the song is upbeat it means that there is a lot to shoot camera wise. However the only issue with a song that is upbeat is that is that the duration of each shot is going to be shorter as we are most likely going to be flicking between shot more frequently than a slower song.
