Progress + Development

 This part of my blog will detail our progress and development

The first task of our development was to of course pick a song we wanted to do. I was fine with doing mostly any song but regardless I was worried we may struggle to pick a song due to conflicting tastes. 

Here are our text messages showing our discussions when picking a song:

We came to the conclusion that we did not want to do a romantic song as we feared that it would feel awkward and we thought that it would be hard to find people who wanted to be a part of our music video this way.

At the time, none of us really had any suggestions so I picked out the non-romantic songs from my research as suggestions. These included:

We then discussed which song we felt would be best but none in particular still stuck out to us.

I then looked into more indie pop songs I know as well as consulted my friends for some which led me to Rina Sawayama's catch me in the air. 

Reflection:
  • To be honest, the song selection felt a bit rush. Part of this was our fault, as we discussed this quite late, however I had been thinking about what song to pick for a long time since our project started (I just didn't have any that felt like the 'right' song) so perhaps had I prompted a discussion earlier, it would feel less rushed and I would feel more sure of the decision as I am the type of person that needs to think things over for a long time before coming to a definite conclusion.
  • I really enjoyed discussing song options with my teammates and I was relieved to learn that we share a lot of the same opinions regarding what songs we could pick
