17. Song Choice/Original Video (pitch)

Song Choice

We chosen the song Want From Me by Kojo Funds as we thought we could conjure up a good video for that song. The song we chose is a remix of the song by another artist Sneakbo - Sneakbo ft Kojo Funds - Want From Me. Sneakbo is a well known artist in the grime genre/ UK rap and has done a few Hip-Hop and Afrobeat songs which is exactly the kind of genre we are looking for. The genre of the song is a mix between Afrobeats and pop making the genre Afropop which does exist. It also has a tendency to fall under Afrobeats.  This song has two vocals so there will be two vocalists/performers in the video that we will produce.

Here is a video of the original song Kojo Funds - Want From Me as there isn't a video for the remix which plays as advantage as we will not be influenced by a video to make same footage and allows us to come up with new ideas.
 

This is the artist and the video of the song. it was released on YouTube on 8th February and has around about 140,000 views and 1,500 likes. It was first released on soundcloud and got over 100k plays in its first week, leading to many remixes such as the one we will be performing.

Here is the audio for the song we will be doing Sneakbo ft Kojo Funds - Want From Me

 

It will differ from the video as the location won't be by the River Thames and we won't have the funds to film in a hotel.

Instead majority of the film will be filmed in a house and various locations up in central London to capture a romantic atmosphere but also a cunning twist as something happens which will be revealed in the video. Keep a lookout!
