Song selection..

For  my a2 media production I have decided to work with Michael Jarvis. I thought that this was a good choice as we worked together in the AS opening to a film work. I found it really easy to work with him as i knew him previously to coming to Saffron Walden, so explaining ideas and getting each others points across was easy. Also, I thought that our AS work was a great success although we had a few problems throughout.

As me and Michael listen to similar music, the genre of music wasn't a hard decision to make. We chose dub step/drum and bass as our genre as i has recently gone mainstream. This made it easier for us to choose artists and get hold of companies such as Chase and Status records to get permission for our video.

We are also looking for intertextual sources for our film from all different mediums so that we can have vertical intertextuality as well as horizontal. I feel that this will help us relate to the audience and help them understand the narrative of our music video.

We have decided to go ahead with the Nero - Innocence song and have had an idea in our head for the narrative ever since we heard it. The original video is cartoon which will make it harder for us to reference, although we can use some of the ideas used in the original.

Although the lyrics are very repetitive, I really like the song, which gives us a lot to work with when the song drops etc.
