Music update

i have now chosen to use a different song by the same artist this is called annies room.






nnie was a girl who lived across town 
It was the summer before she left for college at Brown 
But that's just the beginning 

Pouring down rain the night we first met 
At first glance I didn't notice anything special 
But yet, with a second look she sunk her hooks into me 
Baby, those eyes are begging to set me free 

Chorus: 
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight 
I wanna hear her breathing as she lay there, tucked in tight 
Don't take her away from me, don't you take her away from me 
You'll leave me nothing to believe in 
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight 

Beautiful distraction, is that what I need 
Well, dear Annie, your beauty is distracting me 
And I got no remedy 

Can't get away from the voice in my head 
It says "Reach out and touch her, and say words unsaid" 
But I can't make sense of these feelings in me 
There's no escaping her in my dreams 

Chorus 

Annie, can't you see, you give me air to breathe 
Annie, can't you see the love that's buried in me 
The truth must be told 'cause baby, I'm sold on you and me 
I wish that I was sleeping... oh, Annie 

Chorus

Bob Marley digipak


This is a good digipak as it shows the artist and it also shows the flags colours of his home nation of jamaca he was very passionate about his country and his style of music. it shows the artist this is because it wants to show how close to his music bob marley was and he has used mellow colours for the digipak as the music was a very mellow style and this reflected in the colours and the setting of his music.

Resources

for this music video I have a friend who was in a band to be in my music video I have chosen to use him because he looks like he suits the sound of the song i have chosen.

Location- For this i have not decided yet where i want to film it but i will talk to the person i have starring in the video to see where he thinks it can be filmed.

Props- A guitar maybe a car.

Magazine advert



This magazine advert is good because it tells you the name of the band it also tells you important dates that they will be touring on. 

this also shows the band so that everyone will know who they are going to see if they didn't know already. 

This magazine advert also gives you the bands website so that you can go check out the band. 

lyrics

i have 2 possible songs these are the lyrics.

Annies Room 
Annie was a girl who lived across town 
It was the summer before she left for college at Brown 
But that's just the beginning 

Pouring down rain the night we first met 
At first glance I didn't notice anything special 
But yet, with a second look she sunk her hooks into me 
Baby, those eyes are begging to set me free 

Chorus: 
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight 
I wanna hear her breathing as she lay there, tucked in tight 
Don't take her away from me, don't you take her away from me 
You'll leave me nothing to believe in 
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight 

Beautiful distraction, is that what I need 
Well, dear Annie, your beauty is distracting me 
And I got no remedy 

Can't get away from the voice in my head 
It says "Reach out and touch her, and say words unsaid" 
But I can't make sense of these feelings in me 
There's no escaping her in my dreams 

Chorus 

Annie, can't you see, you give me air to breathe 
Annie, can't you see the love that's buried in me 
The truth must be told 'cause baby, I'm sold on you and me 
I wish that I was sleeping... oh, Annie 

Chorus




You make me 

As you stand here in the darkness
With me by your side
We've come a long way down this road
Now we've got nothing left to hide
I told you the truth baby
I just came out and said it straight
Well, I don't know if I was right or wrong
But it just couldn't wait
No, it just couldn't wait

Chorus:
You turn me upside down, you turn my world around
I owe you everything for all the joy you bring to my life
Took me for who I was and gave me all your love
You make me who I am

We all make mistakes sometimes
It's just a part of life
But you need someone to stand by you, baby
And then break through
Break through to the other side

Chorus

Prelimanary exercise



for this we were given a certain song the name of this song was don't go breaking my heart by Elton john this song had lyrics that were easy to lip sync to. I did not appear in my video i did the camera work the two girls that i worked with were in the video.

for this i got 3 different angles and takes these were whole takes this would intern then make editing easier. The best way to get them to lip sync was them to actually sing the song aloud no matter how good or bad they are and then this would let them get exactly in time with the music.

when we then edited the video changing shot and keeping the same part in the music the same was possible. with my video we will have more time to learn the lyrics and then we can get it bangon and then make my editing sequence a lot simpler.

when i make my video i will have a greater amount of time and a wider range of filming location this will not be filmed in school at all this makes it look like a real music video.

when i make my video i will try my best to get the lip syncing near to perfect this was hard in the preliminary exercise as we have never tried to sync it before.

Anthony Rankin

This is a bio of the singer song writer Anthony Rankin




I’ve been experimenting with music in some shape or form since sitting nervously behind a piano at four years old, but found it to be my true calling once I gripped my first electric guitar at age eight and never looked back (exposure to a couple of Prince records did nothing to deter my enthusiasm – we both have a Napoleon complex).
Between then and now, I’ve written a lot of songs (some good, some not-so-good, two that got played on a local radio station); performed those songs hundreds of times in my hometown, and occasionally in a cool city like Philadelphia or Los Angeles; self-released a handful of records; sold a few thousand copies of those records; made a hip music video with my band for a song from one of those records; and got a bit of press in the local papers (and even a blog or two) along the way.
Since I was sixteen, I’ve straddled the fences between rock and R&B, pop and funk, metal and jazz... when it comes to being an artist, I still can’t sit still in one place for too long, but most music critics would probably label my sound as generally being "pop/rock with a funk undercurrent" or something like that. Like Maroon 5, but if Richie Sambora was the guitar player (no offense, James Valentine).
After high school, I was lucky enough to study my passion at the university level and received a Bachelor’s Degree of Music from Duquesne University in 2006. I still owe them a lot of money.
Throughout my young life, many people have told me that I was destined for fame, while at the same time others criticized me for having no artistic merit, or accused me of having "curiously precise facial hair" (true story).  At the end of the day, those things aren’t really for me to decide.  I just make music.




I have chosen this artist because his songs have easy lyrics to lip sync and to me the lyrics allow me to create a story with the the song telling it. The artist has given me complete permission to use 1 of the following 2 songs as I'm not 100 percent on what one i want to use yet. I do not think i will appear in my music video as i have two people to appear in it from outside of the sixth form 


The song will be uploaded at a later date.

Album artwork

Lady Gaga Born this way 





this piece of artwork reflects the artist as lady gaga is seen as a strange and excentric and she also has a strange dress sense in the public eye. this album artwork was a risk for the performer and that she takes a big risk with the lyrics in her song as well as the art on her album. this will be successful as her fans like her taking risks.

Music possibilities

I am looking at websites such as www.unsigned.com as we have to find an artist and contact them and we would have problems with copyright and these artists if we contact them would be more likely to come back to us and give us permission to use their track.
