Choice of Song!!!

From the last post, you will be able to see that I have posted two sets of lyrics for two different songs: Castaway and Hold On.

We have as a group decided that they were not suitable for our production (see the reasons why below). Instead, we have decided to use the song from Jamendo.com that I found and introduced to the group.

It is called LOOK AT THAT RABBIT GO! and is by a band called HAPPINESS.


Why I didn't choose the two first songs that we found:-

*The beat was too slow and therefore depressing.
*This depressing nature doesn't reflect the ideologies we associate with young, fun, Indie followers - like ourselves.
*The ideas we had for music videos to accompany them were unrealistic to produce.
[1). A time consuming chalk-drawn stop animation, inspired by Coldplay's music video]
[2). A bird's eye view of someone dancing on a bed/grass, using stop animation. This would require a boom to attach the camera, which is not accessible].

Why I chose Happiness' 'Look at that rabbit go!':-

*Happiness reflects the happy-go-lucky disposition of Indie followers.
*''Look at that rabbit go!' is a quirky song title. Quirky things appeal to Indie followers.
*The song was upbeat. This would allow us to have fun with editing to the beat; thus creating an upbeat feeling.
*The lyrics inspired an achievable idea for the music video: "Occupy my empty house" inspired the idea of representing a house-party.
