Track selection process

We held many group meetings during the planning stages of our project, so we could all convey our initial ideas to the group, and make final decisions as a group. For example, I was interested in choosing a song in the pop-punk genre by a band fronted by a girl. Songs like “Let The Flames Begin”, by “Paramore” and “Make You Smile”, by “+44” were of particular interest to me, as a girl singer, broke away from many conventions and could target a new market. However we all listened to many songs before deciding on the final track and we would each pitch a different song and possible ideas for a suitable Music Video.

All of our group are big fans of blink 182. So we thought that doing a video for one of their songs would be a good idea.
The band had a great track called ‘Asthenia’ which really stood out to all members of our group. It stood out to us as a very powerful song, which had a very original introduction, and also had a catchy repetitive chorus line, which is good for a debut single.
