Step 2: Why did we choose this song?

When I first heard this song, I thought that this song would be good to use for a music video that we can produce. As a group we all agreed that we didn't want an unsigned song that had a long opening. So we first decided what genre we should choose, we chose this by saying what are our favorite genres in music. We all had Rock as one of our favorite genres in music, so we decided Rock. After we decided what genre we were going to pick, we went on the website, 'http://www.unsigned.com/' and browsed through the Rock songs, To find the song that we all liked and that will be good for a music video that we can produce. When we were choosing a Rock song we made sure that the people singing in the song were clear to hear,we were doing this because some songs that we came across weren't as clear, for example the actual music was far more noisier than the singers singing, making us obliviously losing interest in the song. After looking through some unsigned Rock songs, we came across a song called, 'Zombie by Miser'. The opening in this song really gave an interest to us and as we were listening more, we all thought that this unsigned song was perfect to use for our music video.

Copyright issues: The song that we have chosen that was from a website was an unsigned song from an unsigned band. Therefore this song is copyright free and just to be courteous we have emailed the band just to see if we have full permission to use their song and make a music video out of it.

Practically speaking, we felt we could deliver a song such as this as we have four people in the group and they are a band made up of five people. Although we were one man down we still felt we could replicate a video for this size. So when we found out that their were five people in the band, we came to the conclusion that we would need another person for our music video. This would be if we wanted the band to be in the music video itself. This is still undecided.

Technically, there were decisions to be made in regards to choosing the rock genre. For example, typically the rock genre uses low key lighting which is readily available to us in this country- particularly at the time in which we will be filming.
