Diary Entry 3 - Choosing a song

Yesterday, we worked in our groups to get straight to the planning process and to decide what song to choose to use in our official music video. Sophiya and Monica worked on one computer and Tyra and I worked on another computer, working in pairs to write a list of potential songs. We then came together and discussed our options, and we came to the decision that we would use the song, 'Set Fire to the Third Bar' by Snow Patrol. However, after further consideration, we decided that this would not be an ideal song as it would be near impossible to contact the band for their permission to use their track. In addition, we also thought that we would be far too influenced by how they portray themselves and their 'star' image for us to come up with unique and original ideas. We now have to go through the same process of planning again, so we can come up with a more unknown artist to make a video for.
