Right so to kick off the project, as a group we had to chose a song that we can all agree on and something we all like. As our tastes in music differ, we decided to look for a song that is common, a song that we could all stomach working with for the next 7months.
Me and Lisa brain stormed a few ideas on to a piece a paper and Lisa kindly agreed to type up neatly the list of songs. I volunteered to be the impartial judge as we looked find the perfect song for us to create a music video for. Initially, our list had 43 songs, so me and Lisa (biased opinion) decided to reduce the list down to 27 cutting out all the commercial songs that were out at the time examples of these are:
David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland - Love takes over
Example - Changed the way you kissed me
Wretch 32 - Tracktor
Wretch 32 ft Josh Kamura - Don't Go
As these songs were being played everywhere we went, whether on the radio, shopping centers or in restaurants, we decided that this was likely to get boring very quickly.
So we agreed to remove the more recent music and keep older 'classic' music. When we minimised it down and kept music from genres that we all liked, so on this list we had tracks like:
Red - Daniel Merriweather
R Kelly - The World Champion
Muse - Feeling Good
Mariah Carey - We belong together
50 Cent - Candy Shop
To decide on the song, we used a democratic system and got everyone to vote for 4 (is this supposed to be like that?) tracks they wanted and the majority would win. As it was my decision to use a democratic voting system, when I lost (because I didn't select Red by Daniel Merriweather) I was happy to continue
