Planning Reflection #3

When thinking about our song choice I came up with some advantages and disadvantages in order to overcome any disadvantages or problems we may have. 

Advantages: 

  • The song isn't overly repetitive, but catchy enough to allow it to be commercialized. 
  • With an actor who can lip sync well, apart from 2 or 3 lines throughout the entire song, the vocals are not hard to replicate.
  • There is a strong dynamic variation between the builds and breakdowns within the song. 
  • We each had several creative ideas for the music video. 
Disadvantages:
  • Our video may become overly themed and depend too heavily on a narrative, meaning our video will become too complicated for a music video. 
  • The song is copyrighted by a conglomerate corporation, which means gaining authorization to use the song for this non-profit project may be complicated. However, to overcome this we have emailed the record label to ask for permission.
