Chosing My Song

As a fan of Ben Howard's music I am familiar with his latest album and previous singles so chosing a song which I liked was not difficult. This process involved

• Narrowing down his songs which appealed to me the most - roughly 3 songs
• Finding a song which was able to fit my storyline for the music video - the mood and tone of the song in relation to the ideas for my storyline also the pace of the music
• Chosing a song which met the requirements of my media coursework e.g. a song which lasts between  3 - 4 minutes
• Finding a song which didn't have a music video - This point was especially important for my decision as the first song which I chose 'Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up' has a music video. I learnt that it was not impossible to make a music video to a song which already had a music video. However it is difficult because you have to create a completely difference music video as there is a risk of copying the original one.

After considering these points I was able to come to the decision that my sound track would be

Ben Howard - Diamonds
