Finding music

Once getting myself into a partnership with Ryan we needed to decide on what music we want to use. We were told to not use copyrighted music like songs that were in the charts and those that had contracts and were owned by recording studios. This meant we had to turn to unsigned bands and artists for musical talent. We had to find a website where we could get a hold of all these things... such a website existed called www.unsigned.com which had everything we could ask for. The hard part was to know find a piece of music we liked and that would be a good foundation for a great music video.

Our search started with genres of music we generally like. Genres like rock, indie, acoustic, funk and pop. We had to take into consideration that we couldn't use music had had hardly any or no lyrics. This is because we need to be able to lip sync effectively throughout the video. Our search led us to several songs and artists. These include:

-The 99s
-SCAR
-1984
-Fij
-Oh, my glory days!

We decided that we needed to send out e-mails to these bands and request permission to use their music and ask for their lyrics so we could learn the songs to help us with our lip synching.
