Planning: Deciding on Tracks

Planning#weouthere

After brainstorming our codes and conventions on Trap music, we sat down and chose candidate songs that are suitable to our genre. The genre that we decided on was the Trap genre of music because the genre has been part of a new genre for a couple of years and artists are in progress of writing the conventions of trap music. Furthermore, past coursework pieces that were done at my school had never presented this genre before, so a sense of individuality is upon this piece of work.

 George, Ten and I started presenting tracks of favourite trap music that wanted to do. George presented the most songs and in the end, we were down to 2 tracks:






Opinions: What we wanted was a trap track that has lyrics, multiple drops and transcending feeling to the piece.   Also, the song needs to be able to give a POV feel. By that, I mean where the music video is being shot in a POV position or a reverse POV where it is a motion selfie of the main character into the song. The songs must also have a feeling of love or a personal dizzy feeling to it. 

What differs catch me and faded 2.0 is the tune and the way that our group can picture the story developing. We had an idea on what we wanted to do for faded 2.0 and we have a direction for it. However, for catch me, there is a different rhythm to the music and it is a pop trap, which does not follow the conventions of trap because it is considered a "popular" vibe song. 

In the end, we decided to film Faded 2.0 because we have a strong direction towards the build up of the music video.
