Production meeting 2 Choosing the Track using Screen Test

During the process of choosing our song we had some trouble deciding between a couple songs. The songs that we had fighting for the position of being the song in our music video was the song "if you wanna" by the Paris Youth Foundation and the song "Hand in my Pocket" by Kassassin. Both songs had a potential to be the song we'd choose however me and Laura were split on which songs we should choose. As a result we did some screening for each of the songs so as to review them with other people and acquire their views.

Hand in my pocket - Kassassin

After creating the screening for this songs the feedback we received stated that the lip syncing looked very convincing even though I hadn't fully memorised the song and had to refer back to the lyrics on my phone. In addition they also said that the song and the voice fitted my appearance and attitude more than it did when they watched the other screening for the song "If you wanna".

If you wanna - Paris Youth Foundation

On the other hand the feedback we received for this screening was quite a bit more negative. Most of the people stated that this song's vocals were very unique and abstract leading to the downfall of the lip syncing looking very anywhere near convincing. In addition to this the song's pace and the lyrics were said to be too fast and did not have any very clear pauses however on the positive side the people who watched this screening did say that the lyrics were very nice for a love song. 

In the end me and Laura came up with a unanimous decision and chose "Hand in my pocket" by Kassasin, based on the fact that it seemed easier to lip sync than the sing "If you wanna" by the Paris Youth Foundation. In turn because of that fact we knew that "Hand in my pocket" would be the more better option as it had a better potential to be executed well by us as it would be easier to record for the lip syncing section.
