Contacting Record Company

Yasemin contacted the new producers of our new song so that we had permission to use it without any issues of copyright. 

Practice and Song Change

We filmed some footage of nights out and day trips to put together in a video so we could practice some of the effects we are thinking of using in our own music video. First off we tried the "black screen effect" from the Justice - Phantom Part II. I think it worked really well and am keen in using it for a part of our coursework. Ms Poulten also suggested that we could perhaps use it as a "blinking" effect which opens up the option of exploring dreams/waking up. We then tried the "rewind-fast-forward" effect that we liked from Nicola Robert's - Beat of My Drum. We used it on a piece of footage of our friend dancing. I think it looks quite effective and would be good to use in our music video. Here it is...



We put it to a fast pace song (The Killers - Human (Ocelet Remix)) and by doing so we realised that perhaps Justice - D.A.N.C.E wasn't the right song choice for the video we all had imagined in our heads. Although a fun song, it may have been too slow and the video prehaps too iconic. It may have looked like we were trying to re-create the video just with our own twist on it. After a group discussion here are some of the songs we are considering.

Drugs In My Body - Theives Like Us (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Fits our genre, no "expected" video
Bad Points: Too slow, male singing

South Central - The Day I Die



Good Points: Fits our genre, could be really imaginative video
Bad Points: Iconic video, male singer

New Young Pony Club - Get Lucky (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Female singer, fits our genre
Bad Points: Too slow

Youth Alcoholic - Fox N Wolf



Good Points: Fits genre, no original music video, female singer
Bad Points: Didn't like the lyrics (too many maybe?)

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (Tweleves Remix)



Good Points: Iconic song, fits genre, female singer
Bad Points: Quick short (maybe add another loop)




WE CHOSE FLEETWOOD MAC - DREAMS (THE TWELVES REMIX) AS OUR FINAL SONG
