Ideas Development

So far, I've looked at:

• The genre of Dance music


• How music is currently break genre boundaries (dubstep and through remixes etc...)


• Furturistic music videos
  

Now I need to become more focused. We have been set our groups and my group members are Charlotte Cooper, Amelia Conway & Laura Allen. Here's a quick review of our first group meeting...:

1st Group Meeting, Tuesday 8th September

• We decided to look at and research further the dance-music-sub-genres of Drum and Bass and Dubstep. This being input from me and Charlotte, I will look at this on my blog and review it for the group. But we decided to only look at specific songs that have lyrics and only sung by female singers. These are my first ideas regarding these two genres:

High Contrast: If We ever (drum & bass)


Chase & Status: Heartbeats (dubstep)


Nu Tone: System (drum and bass/liquid)


...None of these songs have music videos as of yet, which is consistent with most songs of these two genres, and this appealed to us because it gives us more of a chance at being unique. We thought thse sorts of songs would be good to work with as we could have an energetic, individual video and at the same time focus on the passionate, female lyrics. But these are just initial ideas...

• We also decided, on the total flipside, to look at mowtown songs and think about putting an 80's bassline behind one (very exaggerated and techno). This is a way of combining our group love of mowtwon music and 80's style. this idea mostly originates from Amelia, who will be looking more closely into it on her part. Songs by artists like The Supremes, Prince, Patti LaBelle, David Bowie and Blondie are what we're thinking, as we all said we could visualise a more girl-band-like video with a lot of outfits, make-up and dance routines reference=ing the 80's style.
