RESEARCH Song Choice

This is the mind map which we came up for song which we were going to create a music video for. The way which the process started was having a group discussion about which songs we thought we should do as a group. We all came to a agreement that wanted to do a pretty slow beat song because it would be easier to create a music video for, so the sort of genre which we have settled on is easy listening and a bit of acoustic.

The songs which we were looking to do at the beginning was a lot of John Mayer songs but we decided against due to the reason that it would be to hard to try and make a music video for them because the song and tempo of it. Our second choice was When We Say by AJ Rafael we were certain that we were going to do this but then decided against it because it had a music video and we did not want to get influenced by it. So after we decided against it we wanted to find a song which we all agreed on that we could make a music video for which didn't have a current music video.

The song which we decided on was Closure by J.R.A, the reason why we chose this song is because it does not have music video and it is a perfect song for what we are looking for, which is slow easy lyrics to try and portray within the music video and a song which is not really well known. The artist J.R.A is not signed to a record label so we had to get in contact with him personally so we contacting him through his YouTube channel. Here is a copy below of the message which we sent him asking him for permission to use his song for our music video.
