Shooting Schedule...





We intend to stick to this shooting schedule as much as possible however it is inevitable that there could be potential problems concerning lighting, weather and availability of actors. As we are expecting these problems we will try to be flexible and work around prior plans.

Song Name...

When it came to deciding on a new name for the song we intend to use I decided that the word 'pretence' would be appropriate as it is a word which is used quite often int he song. It also has connotations of a false relationship which is like a game of 'pretend'.

Inlays...














These examples of inlays have been taken from the dance genre as well as the pop/rock genre as our initial research was based on both.
- Artist is central to the frame
- Album title generally repeated
- Same or similar image to the front cover of the CD therefore similar codes and conventions can be applied to the inlay.

Artist Name...

After playing around with a few names we have finally decided on a name which we feel suits our artist. We wanted to do something similar to 'P!nk' who challenges the connotations of her 'name' as she doesn't fit any of the connotations of the work 'pink'. For our artist we want to challenge gender stereotypes to conform to our genre so we want a name which has male connotations as well as female connotations. It must also be edgy to engage the target audience.

We chose the name 'Syd Marie' as it has male connotations and by adding 'Marie' on the end it instantly feminises the male persona which is created by the 'Syd' part of the name.

Lyrics from song...

I’m stuck inside
I’m trapped I’m crying
I’m torn apart
Inside I’m dying
And I can’t breathe I can’t think but I’m willing to do anything
Not to put your heart in pretence
Everytime I breathe
Not to think about you everytime I want to fall asleep
You beg the life you took away
You suck the life right out of me
Return my heart to its respected place
Can’t take the pressure
Cover my eyes so I can’t see you
Hiding the truth
Consuming the booze
I can’t be the best of me
So I’m willing to do anything
Not to put your heart in pretence everytime I breathe
Not to think about you when I want to fall asleep
You beg the life you took away
You sucked the life right out of me
Return my heart back to its respected place
Can’t take the pressure
He can’t seem to face himself
He turns away crying for help
He’s changing more and more everyday
She loves him
But it wants to go away
You beg the life you took away
You sucked the life right out of me
Return my heart back to its respected place
Can’t take the pressure
Give back the life you took away
You sucked the life right out of me
Return my heart to its respected place
Can’t take the pressure

Song!!

We have now chosen a song which we will base our artist and all the products on.

(http://www.unsigned.com/casondrakay)

We chose this song because we found it to be quite similar to La Roux's song 'In for the kill' and this is the kind of song we have had in mind for quite some time now. We have also decided to lean towards the electro-dance scene as opposed to pureoly dance music as we found this to be too broad a genre in which there are actually more male unsigned artists than female artists.
