1. Why we chose ‘Mr. Postman’ by Cragga And the pro’s and con’s of our other options
2. Cragga- Mr. postman DISADVANTAGES It is hard to research dubstep songs because there are not many music video’s produced because many of the artists and tunes are not published ADVANTAGES There is no music video for this song, so no need to compare our video to the original The song is not published so it will be easy for us to edit the song if we need to It was easy to get permission for the song by Cragga himself because he is not a mainstream artist The song, under the genre of dubstep, doesn’t contain many lyrics so we have the freedom to be creative and original.
3. Kelis- Millionaire ADVANTAGES The lyrics can easily create a narrative for the video There are many music videos under the same genre to research DISADVANTAGES It is hard to get permission for such a popular song Millionaire already has a music video which follow the lyrics so it would be challenging to do something different We created a vote with 8 people asking which song between Mr. Postman or Millionaire is better. 8 people voted for Mr. Postman, no one voted Millionaire by Kelis. This shows that Mr. Postman is a more popular song, and still being unrecognized by a record label, it is a great opportunity to use it while it is still unsigned.
4. New Edition- Cool It Now ADVANTAGES It is an old song and it would be interesting to make it modern to appeal to a new audience DISADVANTAGES There are 5 band members and it would be hard to lip-sync the lyrics with the video It is a dated song, published in the 1980’s and the target audience would be of an older generation. Due to this, it would be difficult to create a narrative music video.
