Our genre choice

We decided to definitely do a pop song as our group was all girls and it is a genre of music we all enjoy and it would be convenient because it would mean people in our group could star in our video. We definitely did not want to do rap as it is very male dominated and we did not want to do rock as we thought none of us knew much about these genres and for pop we would have more of an understanding about conventions. Originally we had a couple of other ideas for song choice. One of the songs we considered was attracting flies by Alunageorge as it did not have a pre-existing well known video. It was also a song that would fit into the pop genre however we rejected this song choice because we thought it was not up-beat and was too slow and we wanted to show the girls having a lot of fun and jumping from shot to shot in different locations to up-beat music. Another song we considered was Avicii- good feeling (a remix of the original by Flo Rida) as it was a very up-beat song and we could of applied similar ideas for potential music videos to this song. However, we decided not to choose this song because we wanted a song that we would lip sink to but this song only has one part where there is any singing and the large majority of the song is just the music.
