Possible song research

After a lot of different track ideas and sample from www.jamendo.com, I decided on a track with vocals and electronic elements. The vocals allow for relevance to the music with better ease for narrative purposes, and the instrumental electronic parts allow for interesting editing and further engagement with the music and video as a whole, as well as also providing more variety in storyline. Eyes in eyes (feat.LF) by CloZee seemed to be a perfect choice due to it's structure. slowing, looping and jumping edits can be used due to some of the effects, as well as changes in location due to the music shifting dramatically at times. 

Another idea was Hazardous, (by hazardous) as it contained strong beats and sounds with lots of potential for a 'silent narrative', though the lack of vocals makes it slightly harder to use. Shine bright, by 'the way I am' is also another choice, as it is completely free to use, and has a strong narrative inbued within the lyrics and music, of which plays along the storyline. 










Clozee's song seems like something that I may need a license for, therefore I may steer away from it unless I get a response soon for my request of it's use. Sometime, by Renato Cabrera is also a nice song for the purposes of my video, having none if the issues that CloZee's songs may have, however it is approximately 6 minutes long and has a lot of repetition and a basic structure which lacks engagement and is not the kind of song to have a video that fits it well due to the looping of certain segments. Furthermore, some parts are quite obviously looped, which does ruin some of the professionalism of it and makes it less of a realistic option.


(Update) CloZee confirmed that i can use her songs for my music magazine, and so her song may be a more likely choice once again, as it contained the most viable and reliable elements for a music video.


I have also made advances and concepts on the type of editing I will include, as shown several times above. This is a basic animation of loops and simple movement, therefore the finished product will be a lot smoother, more detailed, and have a better, as well as more relevant image in the background.
