Song Research

 Here we will look in detail at our song choice, the song we opted to use is titled, 'Here With Me' by d4vd, or more known as David. 

Song background:

-Here With Me” starts off with a dreamy guitar riff over a steady beat. As d4vd starts singing, listeners are immersed in the story he tells about his relationship with a partner watching the sunset, growing old together and knowing that regardless of the circumstances, everything will be alright with that person by his side" - Met Radio, 25 March 2023, written by Jordyn Lalonde

The reason of choosing this particular song:

We chose this song because it has a simple meaning that we can decipher as a group in order to convert it into a project. The song also has a very emotive and deep lyrics about love, this will make it good as this song can be relatable to young teenagers. Even the singer himself is 17 years old when he released this music video. He was probably younger when he wrote it, which makes it a strong point. 

How we would change it:

We would subvert away from this music video by by changing the initially sunset and beach vibes of the original music video to somewhat a daily life of a teenage relationship that is not too deep. We also decided to make the flow of the music video chronological. Unlike the original music video where there were random cuts and the storyline goes back and forth with them getting old. Here, its just a normal teenage relationship. 

SELF REFLECTION:

Through the song research that I was tasked to do, I could analyze how the original music video was made and what conventions and emotions it wanted to convey to the audience. This was helpful as we could also have some kind of idea of how to do the plot as we have a deep reasoning of the song in which we can alter. Through knowing how we as a group can change it, it helped me have more ideas on subverting genre and music videos. This was overall an easy job as it was short.
