In week 6, our job allocations were put to the test. Knowing what we all needed to do was extremely helpful, as we all went off and done what was needed. My group members and i sat down as a group and discussed which of our songs would fit the philosophy of our genre, during the meeting we were able to come to a decision that entailed we all felt comfortable and happy doing the song we'd chosen to do. Furthermore, we decided to take it a step further and research about the artist. Knowing about the artists background is really essential as it means we have a better understanding on how to portray his characteristics in our music video. From the research, we understood that our artist was very similar to us, as he was from south east london and grew up in areas similar to us. Knowing this benefited us as we understood and empathised with the lyrics of his song. In addition, understanding that he had a tough life, gave the lyrics more meaning as it's emotional specifically to him, it could also have been emotional to our set audience as they may have experienced difficult circumstances and watching the music video as well as listening to the song could help to inspire them.
