Production meeting 2: 24/09/2014

Taking the advice of our teachers, we decided that using 'Cash and carry me home' would be impractical due to the fact that the vocals are rather distinct- a deep black male voice- therefore rather than trying t fond someone to fit the role, we should choose a song which we can utilise the abilities of our group with.

We made a new initial shortlist of 2 tracks:

1)Glass Animals - Holiest

2) FKA Twigs - Video Girl





FKA TWIGS- Video Girl

-No official video
-We thought up some really creative studio based concepts for this song
-However, slow tempo and lack of change makes it harder to make an engaging video

After disregarding both of these, due to their slow tempos, we created a second shortlist of more upbeat, narrative songs:

1) Basement Jaxx – Good Luck 
2)The xx – Heart Skipped A Beat

3) Little Dragon – Klapp Klapp

4) Bad Idea – AlunaGeorge

5) DJ Fresh – Gold Dust

-

In the end we opted for number 2- The XX- Heart skipped a beat, due to a few distinguishing factors:

- Simple narrative lyrics, not too slow or fast
-Possibility of male female duet
-Obvious storyline
- NO official video

Our initial structure:

- Based on studio shot footage of white male black female duet artists singing to one another in studio- (lip-sync) reflecting the somber mood of the song and introducing the alternative debut artists.

- Also use of archive footage to present a second narrative of a couple's relationship- following from early stages through to a possible eventful break-up.

-Possible use of lyrics such as "sometimes i still need you" reflected through both narratives- as we see one couple fall apart we see the artists come closer together again.

-However, the song has an excessively long opening which we must cut down if using it in rder to stay within the three minute cut-off point.

Next meeting we will focus on both adjusting the target audience to for the new artist, decide on their name, and create a suitable record label to sign them to.
