Choosing A Track:

After a very long period spent on watching and analysing certain music videos, we have to also think about the music track in which will be played in our product, the music video. This is a huge template for the music video itself, without it the structure of the video may not be as successful and the moving images must relate to the beats and rhythms of the track. It is all about the connection and bond between both the music track and the visual aspect in which creates a successful end product, being the music video.

We have found various music tracks in which we are very interested in, however these songs are No.1 in the charts and are owned by a record company, therefore requesting for the tracks permission has been very difficult, as we have attempted to ask permission for Bruno Mars - 'Just the way you are', but cannot find ways to contact the record company. The video was also very appealing, it was simple but very cleverly done, we are hoping to accomplish a similar product to this, but not so professional as we do not have the expensive cameras, and equipment and soft wares to edit with.

So we decided to look up for cover artists, from My Space a website for bands, music and socialising, we searched and listened to many cover artists who were popular and some who were not so famous and emailed them if we could have permission for their cover.We are thinking of a soft, mellow song in which we can match this to a romantic video of a couple meeting each other, and shots and scenery of nature i.e the sunset, sea, birds.

If we do not receive no permission for either a track or a cover, then Janice Mutema and her friend have previously made a song were she sings and he creates the beats of the song, we may go ahead with that idea, or there are many musical bands within our campus and could kindly ask if they can be in our video singing their own song, recorded and played. Then we can just go ahead with the shooting the band itself and will not require no actors or singers. We believe this is the best and most efficient process.
