Over the past couple of weeks me and abbas have being discussing what song we would like to implement for our music video. At the beginning of term we were determined to use an american rock band's song but we have changed our mind. We are now going to use a successful British rock band, Queen as their songs are extremely well-known. We changed to using a British rock band because American rock bands were not as appealing to us anymore because over the past few weeks i have being researching into British rock bands such as Queen for example and i had a huge urge to change my mind and use a British rock band because the audience that will be attracted to a British rock band will be British. This is one of the reasons why choosing a British rock band because me and Abbas want to target a British genre, not American. Also, Queen's music video and micro elements are extremely creative. My next task is to post blogs analysing a couple of Queen's music videos as well as other British rock bands to analyse what elements/shots we could consider using also as they may have approved to be a success for them.

Me and Abbas have choose two songs that we would consider using in our music video. The songs are both by Queen, "We are the champions" and "we will rock you". We have contacted the official Queen to ask permission on whether we can use their song or not. We have currently waiting for an answer. If we do not get permission from Queen, we have a back-up plan. For example, one of our friends in our year can play the guitar really professionally so he said that we could use his music in our video. Also, we have another friend who is good at singing as she is in the choir and she said that she would record the voice for our music video. This week we are going to ask one of our teachers if we can use the school's studio room so we can record the cover. This is only if we do not get permission from Queen itself.
