Genres We Looked At

Pop Music 

Firstly we looked at pop music which was a strong idea as this genre has a wide variety of what you can do with it and also we believed that this genre would be easy to do our video on as pop songs seem to flow quite well and look easy to work with. Despite this we decided to not pick this genre as we thought that this was a bit simple and something everyone else would pick.

Grime Music

This genre is something I listen to frequently so obviously this is one that I would like to have done but the rest of my group aren't as into this music so I had to settle for another genre. This genre is rapidly growing in the UK and isn't as mainstream as other genres so I believed this would be perfect. The messages that grime artists give might not be suitable for our video either.

US Rap Music

This is a genre that was suggested by Jordan as he likes this genre of music. I also would've been happy to do this genre as I like this type of music as well but Sarah and Amy don't enjoy this genre so we decided against this genre also. We also believed that there might be too many swear words in these songs so it would just make our lives a bit harder.

Drum & Bass

This was a genre that originally looked promising but we thought about the fact that there are hardly any words in this type of genre so it would make doing a lip sync video look very simple and make it look like no effort had gone into the production which isn't what we really wanted. But apart from that everyone seemed to get on with this genre so it was one of the most promising.

Electronic Music

This genre is one of the strongest of all the genres because everyone seemed to get on with this genre and also there was no factors as to why we should eliminate this type of music. We all decided that this genre would be the one that we were going to use for video. We have decided to use the song No Angels by Bastille ft. Ella Ayre. This song is a mix of two songs, one from Bastille and one from Ella Eyre.
