RESEARCH - Search For My Artist

• The different steps you went through in order to find the artist and song to use:

The first thing I had to do was to choose what type of music video I want to create and of which genre. I didn't choose romantic genre because my film opening from last year was of romantic genre therefore I wanted to do something different this time. I did not pick horror or gothic-like because I am not into such stuff. I was stuck and had no clue of what to do so finally I started looking online for genres from there I found rock music which I thought I could do. But, I didn't wanted to do my music video on just basic rock songs so I started looking for other paths and different kinds of rock music through that I found out about universal rock songs. I listened to few american and french rock songs and I started to find them interesting so I picked to do them for my coursework. The first thing I had to do was to get a nice track so I asked my family members who could help me. My cousin is into rock music therefore he suggested me few more rock albums with baroque rock genre and gave me contacts of the bands which was a great help. Finally, I choose Woodkid (Yoann Lemoine) from their album 'The Golden Age' I picked a song which I thought would fit in with what I want to do and I emailed them to ask if I can use their song called 'Run Boy Run' for my work.

• Initial impression of song - which track did you pick and why? What do you like about it?

Band - Revolver (French band)
Album - The Golden Age
Song - Run Boy Run
Genre - Baroque pop (pop rock)

The first reason I picked this music video is because I really liked the idea behind it and I have knowledge of 'The Golden Age' and what its all about. I know about it through my another subject which I am studying for my A-level studies (English Literature) therefore I can very well understand the lyrics and what its trying to say to its audiences. Another reason is because I like the pace of this music video. It fast and slow and the beats are repetitive which makes it fun to listen to. Also it is focused on male gender which we can tell by its title too 'Run Boy Run'. After listening to this video, many ideas started running through my mind of how to present my video and make it interesting and entertaining to watch.

What type os artist/ characters?
 I will need a person who is able to provide the character type of a loner and sad person. Who is able to act very well and show variety of behaviours in the music video. Someone who is focussed and can face the camera without any fear or being nervous.
