My Chosen Song...

We used the website "MYSPACE" in order to track down a song within our chosen Genre - Grime/Dubstep.
We wanted something with a strong beat, that portrayed the streets and had a sort of grime effect.
Eventually we came across a song called... "Unfinished Business" by an artist called "Havok".
We sent Havok an email asking if we could use their music as part of our media project, we then got to work by listening to the song countless times, trying to see what ideas we could synthesise.
This is our chosen song, Luckily it does not already have a music video, but it is still on YouTube for us to share with you...
We also have it in MP3 format for when we begin production.



Interestingly this song has no lyrics, which could be a disadvantage and an advantage.
It will be more of a challenge for when me and my partner have to think of themes etc. yet we don't have to worry about lip syncing and so on.
Our basic idea is that we want the camera to follow a young male character throughout the journey of his day.
We will show him waking up, getting ready to leave the house, and then him leaving the house.
He will move through the city, meeting friends, and meeting people for "business".
Our character is going to be an illegal drug dealer trying to make his way.
We want to give our video an entropic twist, so we want to include something scary/thrilling.
I had the idea that we should include a creature/monster, yet something that isn't to childish and could be easily disguised with a sly and sneaky feel.
Eventually me and my partner decided that a zombie could be included into our character's scenario. The zombie will be wearing a hood over his face, and the zombie will hide in the shadows and follow our character without him knowing.

The video will have a similar feel to the one I analysed earlier, by Plan B.
