After narrowing our song choices down to three final tracks, we decided on 'Fast In My Car' by Paramore for various reasons. We couldn't do Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good' as none of us would have been able to capture the soul of her voice as we all look far too young and inexperienced. We also couldn't do the Bastille's 'No Angels' because their singer has gained a distinctive voice and the song was too slow to make the video interesting - we didn't want to bore our audience.
'Fast In My Car' is upbeat and fun and by choosing this song we managed to make our genre different from the original song: Paramore fall under the 'rock' genre but by listening to the song we made our band electro-alternative. The song is also different from the other media classes track choices in our year which will hopefully stand us out from the crowd.
