Searching for my song

After considering a range of different genres I came to the conclusion that I wanted to choose house music as it was a genre I had never really listened to before and wanted to explore something new. The house music scene has raised hugely over the past year, reaching a similar height of popularity it had in the 1980's, I wanted to use this to my advantage as it would keep my track and music video relevant and current. I felt this video would be easy to create because it was realistic for my budget, as most house videos are shot at low cost using mostly editing to create effect rather than the shots themselves. We were assigned to find an unsigned artist for the reason that we will not be influenced by videos or images created for signed bands/artists. I thought this was an advantage as it meant i could create something completely fresh and new, true to my own style.

Finding an unsigned band seemed like a tough task to take on at first but once I knew where to look it became a lot easier, I searched on sites such as www.unsignedartist.com, www.unsigned.com and www.soundcloud.com where unsigned artist and bands put their music on in order to get recognition. 

The site I used the most was unsigned.com as I felt it was the easiest and quickest to navigate because of the tool bars located on the right hand side of the page that allowed you to scale down your search. Once I had clicked the House category my search became a lot easier. 

The only issue I had with unsigned.com was that I couldn't download my chosen song from the website, so I had to find it elsewhere and download it so i could start creating my video to the music. Luckily i found the song on YouTube, so I downloaded this on video2mp3.com, a YouTube converting website, and imported it to ITunes then copied it from ITunes over to Imovie.
