Why did we chose the song we did?

We chose the song we did, Yasmin - On My Own because when we listened to the lyrics we decided that it fitted our target audience and the theme of the song fitted with certain times during a teenagers life that they always go through and they would be able to relate to the actor and the situation she is in. Also we would be able to cut the length of the song down, from 3:56 to 3:08 because the end part is just instrumental and hasnt got the actor singing and we would have more chance keeping our audience interested if it is shorter. We also chose this song because it wasnt very well known and the singer isnt a very well known artist, so not many people would know the song and also we would be able to put our own twist onto the song, and no-body would think we have copied the same format as the video. Even though we did take some parts of the song, and use them for ideas for example the clothing and make up of the singer as she was portraying quite a natural look, and we changed the locations as we thought a more appropriate place to film would be a beach, park or woods as these match the romance genre.
