- Concept Of Thought are a independent conscious UK hip-hop group, who currently i belive are not signed, this track would be very interesting to work with, however tricky.
- I have emailed the group in order to check whether they are signed and to ask permission to use this track for my music video, however i am currently thinking of using a track by Julian Austin.
-They replied and are happy for me to use one of their tracks.
Julian Austin:
Julian Austin is an unsigned acoustic artist, as well as my dad, meaning that i know the music rather well and i have 100% permission for using any of the tracks, as well being rather suitable for a music video within my reach as i would be able to get him to perform within the video with ease, whereas previously in my thriller production, we had problems with the reliability and continuity of actors, causing need for a re-shoot, using this, this could be avoided.
- Currently i am thinking of using the track "Unto Others" as i think the lyrics could succsesfully connote a further political meaning, which would stand out in comparrison to most rather generic formulaic films.
- I am now thinking of using his "Strangest Fruit" track as the lyrics would fit well and realistically within the mise-en scene, however to do this is will have to re-record the new version of the track.
Other Hip-Hop
-Currently i'm involved in organising and performing in a live Norwich hip-hop showcase in norwich, some of my friends involved are mc's and i have spoken to then and suggested recording/ producing their track and making a time lapse/ journey/ performance based video. This would not pose the same problems as Concept Of Thought as they would be avaliable to record or perform on call, and being they live and write in norwich it wouldnt pose any problems with cultural variations or copyright issues.
I suggest the hip hop track would be difficult to use as a music video. You would be heavily reliant on performers who could let you down and thus cause some of the obstacles you had last year. Unless you have actors prepared to shoot over the summer holidays and locations planned I wouldn't go down this road. The track is strong but heavily reliant on you filming the real artist in performance.
