Chosen song and lyrics

I have gone with my initial idea of using The Asteroid Galaxy Tour, and their song 'Push The Envelope'.

It is a pop song, which is a genre I wanted to experiment with due to the continuous and significant beat, and opportunity for some dance routines.



This is the song and lyrics:

Anyway you're OK, I'm away to the day when you wont pray for a better day.
Never say stay wide awake, be always late, for devils sake smile when you're afraid
In the gray, be a slave, everyday, create a wave, create your own fate
But you will fail, (...) lack the will, you'll be chasing your tail.

Push the envelope, wild child, come on x2
Come on x3
Now
Come on x3

Single mind, wastin' time, doin' fine most of the time, sure you walk the line
Make it shine, for the dime but always shines left behind there's no better crime
You will climb, until you find you sat in grime sublime, (...)
But you decline, to the blind, I'll stay alive yeah ! I know you know that you're divine.

Push the envelope, wild child, come on x15

Sometimes you feel like you're running around in the clouds,
Sometimes you feel like you're living your life wasting time,
Oh you're so true yet so blue ~ is it all in your mind?
Tell me, amaze me, seduce me, you still make it mine.

Push the envelope, wild child, come on x4

Group filming and editing practise

To improve our ease of shooting music video's, over the last few weeks we have been picking songs to then re-create our own video's for. This has helped us to become familiar with the difficulties of lip-syncing and the timing issues coming with that.

We have also tried several genres, giving us the opportunity to explore with the conventions typical of this style.

We have only been able to shoot these within school so have been slightly limited in terms of location and time

Braxtons- Slow The Flow (Hip-Hop)




Lionel Ritchie- Easy (Ballad)



Carly-Rae Jepson- Call Me Maybe (Pop)


Christmas Medley- (Christmas)
