2. What song did you choose?
For the purposes of our music video we have decided to
use the song “Black Heart” by Stooshe. Here is a link to the
original music video of the song in case you haven’t heard
of it before. If you have then you can skip onto the next
slide.

3. How we came to the conclusion to
use this song part 1.
After spending months probing the minds of our
demographic to come up with a preferred genre to work
with we found that most of the people we asked chose
either Pop and/or Rock.
Originally the song we intended to use, after having been
given permission, was a song called: “Superstar” by the
Dead Famous. However we gained a lot of negative
feedback about the song.

use this song part 2.
This meant that we had to come up with an
alternative. Our alternative was the song:
“Somebody that I used to know” by Gotye.
After we received confirmation from Gotye’s
management (Travis) we asked people
what they thought of the song. Again we
were given negative answers. A majority of
the people we asked felt that the song was
too slow and/or depressing to listen to.
5. How we came to the conclusion to
use this song part 3.
We then realised that there were two
common errors with both of our previous
song choices:
1. Both of these artists were male
2. Our group is all female
3. We didn’t have that many male friends
who were willing to star in our music
video
6. How we came to the conclusion to
use this song part 4. THE FINALE.
With these faults in mind we decided we
decided to turn to female artists. At first this
seemed to be a trouble as there weren’t
many current female artists that we were
comfortable using i.e. most current pop
songs by females are inappropriate. We
actually stumbled upon our song choice
when Sarah was singing in the common
room. The song she was singing was Black
Heart which we realised was perfect.
7. Why did we choose Black Heart? Part
1.
• Our group is made up of two females and the
song choice is made up of all females. Clearly.
• The song itself has a storyline within the lyrics
so we wouldn’t have to come up with our
own. If we did it would diverge from the lyrics.
So…it wouldn’t make sense to do that.
