Reasons for our choice in song.

What song did you choose?

For the purposes of our music video we have decided to use the song “Black Heart” by Stooshe.

Here is a link to the original music video of the song in case you haven’t heard of it before. If you have

How we came to the conclusion to use this song part 1.

After spending months probing the minds of our demographic to come up with a preferred genre to

work with we found that most of the people we asked chose either Pop and/or Rock.

Originally the song we intended to use, after having been given permission, was a song called:

“Superstar” by the Dead Famous. However we gained a lot of negative feedback about the song.

This meant that we had to come up with an alternative. Our alternative was the song: “Somebody that I used to know” by Gotye. After we received confirmation from Gotye’s management (Travis) we asked people what they thought of the song. Again we were given negative answers. A majority of the people we asked felt that the song was too slow and/or depressing to listen to.

How we came to the conclusion to use this song part 3.

We then realised that there were two common errors with both of our previous song choices: 1. Both of these artists were male2. Our group is all female3. We didn’t have that many male

friends who were willing to star in our music video

How we came to the conclusion to use this song part 4. THE FINALE.

With these faults in mind we decided we decided to turn to female artists. At first this seemed to be a trouble as there weren’t many current female artists that we were comfortable using i.e. most current pop songs by females are inappropriate. We actually stumbled upon our song choice when Sarah was singing in the common room. The song she was singing was Black Heart which we realised was perfect.

Why did we choose Black Heart? Part 1.

• Our group is made up of two females and the song choice is made up of all females. Clearly.

• The song itself has a storyline within the lyrics so we wouldn’t have to come up with our own. If we did it would diverge from the lyrics. So…it wouldn’t make sense to do that.
