Song choice

After tediously searching numerous websites for unsigned artists/bands we luckily found a solo artist whose genre of music reflected that of which want to use for our project. http://www.purevolume.com/, allowed us to preview only one track but we wanted to hear more, we then decided to visit her myspace page which allowed us to access more of her songs. After listening to them, we found one in particular which we thought would be good to use for our media project to make a music video. Due to copyright and legal requirements we had to e-mail the artist to ask if she would allow us to use her song. In the next lesson we had recieved a reply from Kesha which said "rad!, that'd be dope", we were unfamiliar with what this meant due to the American slang but then found out that this was a good thing and that she meant great and she would grant permission.

Product and Genre - LETHAL BIZZLE

The lethal bizzle album cover is similar to the Clubber's guide album cover, as they both appeal to the younger audience. The effect of the lights behind the artist also signifies disco lights which would reflect the young clubbing scene. The album cover is very bold with the name of the aritst - LETHAL BIZZLE, in bright, glowing lights which demonstrates to the audience that the music will be upbeat, these lights and the image of the artist himself clearly demonstarte the music genre.

Product and Genre - Kasabian

The genre of the band is established by the mise-en-scene such as the costumes/clothing worn by the artists themselves. The individual clothing and shabby chin length hair show that the genre of the band is indie/rock.
The overall music itself is targeted at those who enjoy listening to the indie and rock genre and maybe those who are inspired by dress sense alike the band members. Kasabian are an english band and the colours such as the red, white and navy could help establish this as they also represent the colours of the British flag.

Product and Genre - SEAL

This album cover is different to the Clubber's guide CD cover, this is due to the genre established - the music is soul music. The album cover relates to a jazz scene, the mise-en-scene such as the microphone within the shot is old therefore targeted at an older audience. The clothing of the artist is smart, a lose tie which resembles an older artist such as Frank Sinatra. The album cover is plain with dull colours - grey and soft shadows which relates to the music as it is southing music and the artists facial expressions indicate that the music lyrics are expressive.
