Searching for an artist

After being given the task of finding an unsigned artist i began looking at the different genres of music videos. I looked at pop videos, RnB videos, Indie Videos and Hip Hop videos. After looking into each genre properly, and researching the production elements of each style of video i decided that it would be best to produce an indie music video as the production of this genre often use a small budget, which meant it would be easier for me to create a good piece of work.

Once deciding on my genre of music video i began using 'Unsignedartists.com' and 'Soundcloud.com'. Both of these websites are specifically used for unsigned artists to display their work in the hope of someone finding them and offering to work with them.

After searching on the two websites, I wasn't coming across any bands that caught my eye. When scrolling through a social media site (Facebook) I came across the band "Kids Love Lies". I listened to their song "Count in my head" and instantly loved the up-beat tune and catchy lyrics. Although specified as an indie band, it holds elements of punk and rock within its songs. With it being a fast paced song i knew id be able to work with a variety of different camera shots and effects to create a good music video. The bands target audience would be that of the younger generation as their lyrics are relatable and quirky.
