To begin our project we or songs from different genres, using the social networking site Facebook to share links and lyrics. However we encountered numerous problems with song choices such as choosing a song that already had a video and choosing the same song s as someone else in the year. This was unfortunate as we had developed a substantial pitch and idea however we the group we pitched against had planned more into their project. Originally we had the idea of a war theme to go with the song ‘Youth’ by Daughter. When judging both groups pitches, teachers decided that our video idea could be more easily adaptable to another song whereas the groups idea was more suited to the song. To add to this we decided it would be a good idea to go into the pitch off with a second song choice, also by Daughter. We decided this backup choice could focus on the downturns of a girl using drugs. The song, suitably names ‘Medicine’, was similar in genre and tone of the first song, giving ourselves more of a chance if we had to change
Unfortunately the other group had a more developed storyline and won the song . However we adapted and changed our ideas numerous times to fit the new song. From the drug theme we explored ideas of depression. Eventually we decided on a storyline that followed a teenage girls decline through anorexia.
