Choosing an artist for my music video project.

Now that we have done alot of work on editing other peoples video, and making group videos to famous songs etc it is now time for us to start thinking about our final project, our own music video.

For our music video we are aloud to use any artist we want within reason, so long as they're not too famous (some one like Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Madonna) because it makes it increasingly hard to make a video to a very well known track or artist as most people already have an idea of how it SHOULD be done to them.

I made a short list of artists i liked and thought i would be able to use, those artists were;

2 of my friends bands called How To Kill A Conversation and Betty

i also considered slightly less well known but still famous artists like Matchbox 20 or Enter Shikari.

i quite quickly decided against the famous artists because i thought they would be more difficult to do.

Having already spoken to How To Kill a Conversation in depth and being fairly involved in the band at times i originally went with them. How ever after i spent a while closely listening to their recordings trying to decide which song to use i realised that the recordings were not really to a good enough standard for what i needed and that occasionally parts were out of time, which although sounded good, would have made syncing more difficult.

As a result of HTKAC's recordings not being up to scratch i had to head back to the drawing board. However i am glad this happened now because i then started working with my other friends band/duo, Betty.
