After doing the research for bands and solo artists in the local area, we decided to contact Alice Wilkinson to see if she would be available to film a music video. She unfortunately declined the offer, so we then needed to find another artist.
Recently, choosing a band has been tricky. Even though there are four of us in a group, only Scott new a local band. "Forest" are an indie rock band that have recorded their music proffessionally but have yet to produce music videos to go with their tracks. We contacted them to see if they would be up for filming. This conversation lasted about 5 days because the band couldn't find a day where they were all free. By this time, other groups in the class had already got their footage and were ready to start editing. This made us pick up the pace. We told "Forest" that we didn't need all of them to be in the video, we only needed one or two members to make the video. But once again, the band couldn't get their act together, and they all said that they couldn't find time to film. This was a shame, we had been trying to organise a filming day for the whole week and at the last minute the band gave up on us. We are now at a "loose end", we need a band fast otherwise we may risk missing the deadline for this project.
It is interesting that the two acts we have contacted have declined our offer for a free music video. Many bands would "kill" for a professional music video. Maybe people aren't taking us seriously enough because we are students, they underestimate our talents.
