Production Diary #5

Today, I spent the first half of the lesson completing a task about researching the different genres in music. I discussed pop, alternative, hip hop, rap, country and rock which helped me come to the conclusion that I would like to use an alternative/pop song for my music video. I have chosen to use the song 'Primadonna by Marina and The Diamonds' as the song is very fun and energetic with a great, edgy beat. I feel like the model (my friend, Ruth) I have chosen to play the lead singer in the video will fit the role of Marina perfectly as they share similar characteristics, and I feel as though if Ruth was a real singer then this would be the music that she would produce - which is always a plus sign, which will hopefully benefit my work significantly.
