My song choice

I had a lot of deliberation when choosing my song because of the wide choice I was offered on the websites I was looking at; however once I knew what genre I wanted to look at my search became a lot quicker and easier. I chose the house music genre because it was it a different style of genre to anything I was used to or have listened to before and wanted to take on the challenge of creating something I wasn’t too familiar with, this way I would go deeper into the research surrounding the genre as it would intrigue me more than genres such indie, R&B or pop. This genre was also very practical as I felt it would be simple to shoot because of its low budget, meaning the shots I need would be very easy to create, in addition the editing is more crucial in house music videos rather than the shots themselves. I also wanted to chose a genre that was current so it was easier for me to create.


I originally looked at range of artists on unsigned.com and narrowed down my search to 5 artists, these were: 

  1. Alex Ghost - an Italian house music artist and producer 
  1.  Barron Simms - an English house and drum and bass producer 
  1. Alex Fiction - a German house music and techno artist and producer 
  1. Artzero - another German house and electro artist 
  1. Stepfour - an English house artist and techno producer 

I considered using all of these artist as each had at least one song that I was intrigued by, however after replaying the song over a number of lessons the one that as constantly stuck in my head was Alex Fictions - Waston and Creek's Change remix. Not only was I intrigued by the song but also that it was a remix, this allowed me to listen to the original song to see how it progressed from one sound to another. I was extremely impressed by the transformation of the song and this then confirmed to me that Alex Fiction's - Change was the track I wanted to create my music video to.
