Task 4 Genre Research
Banseji- Petals (2015)
Petals is an EDM based genre music. It was produced by Banseji which is an electro Musician. The music chosen was also posted on sound cloud which means this is a way of a star releasing their music with a mix of genre in that website. The music itself is electro and this style of music was from using different types of electro instruments and it's production and Banseji specializes in that. This style of music is also a mixture of pop and electro and there are still some singing in the song. The song would still be the song if covered using just a guitar, therefore there's sense of pop in this song. Pop-electro was introduced in the late 90's, with electronically produced music became prevalent in the popular domain by 1990s, because of such technology invented. This type of music varies and ranges from experimental art music to more popular forms such as dance electro music.
Banseji also has his own sound cloud with similar types of music he created , put into one place.
The main practitioner is basically him, making his own electro songs. He had been producing for a while from high school making music with other electro producers like Wave racer. One of Banseji's main influences were disco house music, making music sound fresh, so when people listen to it it'll be even more refreshing. Back then he came up with two self produced tracks, Tribute to cat and Speak with the Dolphins.
Banseji mentions how people needs to stay inspired and surround themselves with everything and that people shouldn't be selective. He mentions about Dj-ing and that may be one of his main influences into doing electro music, exploring different styles of music merging into one through electro technology with other genre and music influencing him on his way. Now in 2015, electro music is very well known and also extremely popular among teens , 16-25 ish since this during this age people start going out, with this type of music being the main guide to where ever their going. This type of music may target audiences in their teens going out or even people who are inspired by these type of music and style. Famous Djs like Tiesto, Skrillex, Zed, David Guetta etc. These people could be one of poeple's main influences with high quality much produced by them. People going on may end up listening to these type of music. These type of music is very fresh and kicking people's faces whenever the beat drops. This means that it may have such influences on how people dress up and their fashion. They'd want to wear something fresh at the same time comfy to go well with the music. This style of clothing could be categorized as an outgoing, vintage-ish look as now the fashion from the 90's are coming back. Things like nose rings, neck wears, brown leather jackets etc.
This is another electro genre type of music featuring in the film warm bodies. This song and Banseji's songs has many similarities, form the electro sound to the beat. The song also has some singing however isn't he chorus. The chorus is the electro beat created which is why EMD is uniquely different from other genres, with the main part of the song being the beat that acts as a chorus. This way it'll just make it more captivating for the audience also making the music stuck in their heads.
2. Divergent- M83- I need you
The theme of this song is very similar to Banseji's Petals. The story and the meaning is similar in many ways as they're both talking about how someone needs another person and that he/her misses them. The song is also very similar overall, starting the song slowly and the beat gradually increases. In this film itself is about howp people living their lives in a futuristic world in which society is divided into five factions. As each person enters adulthood, he or she must choose a faction and commit to it for life. However, all the main characters and the majority of the people in the film are teenagers. Which links back to the genre of the music where the majority that listens to this type of music are mainly teenagers.
Technologies
The technologies used in this type of music are mostly electro music and instruments put together to create this. The vocals in the song was also doubled meaning it has doubled the voices of the singer. These type of music are mostly created through a software or a legit DJ making contraption. This is related to
the lifestyle of those who are into electro music or targets the groups that goes out a lot as these type of music maybe often be played in pubs and bars

Day2/Diary - Location Scouting
PLEARN WAN (HuaHin)
Last weekend i had a chance to go check out our future filming location. That trip made it more clear that we'll be filming there as a part of our A2 final Music Video. I made a video summing up what the venue looks like and some of the things that were there.
I went around the venue filming everything possible. The place i went to was basically marktet with the purpose of the place trying to portray back to what thai markets in the 90's look like. This would going really well with our theme and what message we're trying to pass across to the audience.
Lyrics Analysis ♡+ Scanned version
Everytime I get stronger - ( The longer she waits. the stronger she gets)
While I'm waiting here for you ( Emphasizing the fact that it's been a while)
We're the ones that they talk about ( everyone is aware of how long shes been waiting)
Tell me how you feel ( has no clue what he is up to nor how he feels)
I'm the only one who thinks it's real ( one sided love)
I love it too ( love dreaming about how they're together)
When did it become so real? ( when did she miss him this much)
Why does it feel so, so real? ( attaching herself to em memories and moments)
You've got nothing left to lose ( cuz he's not the one with a broken heart)
Let the feeling take over ( let herself go, drowned in feelings)
We're the ones that they talk about
Tell me how you feel
I love it too
Mixed together will make another reality ( everything works out as long as they're together)
I'm the only one who thinks it's real
Why does it feel so, so real?
When did it become so real?
Every color ( the stupid things they do)
We're the ones that they made
Everytime I get stronger
While I'm waiting here for you
Let the feeling take over
You've got nothing left to lose
We're the ones that they talk about

Skills Audit ◁◁
1. Resilience= Persistence
During my A level course i have came across so many obstacles making me sometimes feel as if i should just give up. My group wasn't really working together since we have different ideas and thoughts on what we should do. Sometimes filming could also be a problem because it might not turn out the way we wanted it to be. However, the only way to overcome this obviously to talk about it and that was what we did. There will always be a way out through tough times. This allows us to keep working despite the difficulty.
2. Risk taking
Throughout my A level media course, i can truly say that i'm becoming more of a risk taker. By this i mean trying to do things i've never done before, filming in places i'd never thought of going, coming up with risky ideas that might not work. All these things have taught me that being risky isn't a bad thing but instead it provides us with experiences and mistakes we can learn from and apply what we've learnt to future tasks. By doing this, i am sure that i won't be regretting any of my choices because at least i gave it a try, and if i don't succeed , i know and try something better next time. I am well aware that sometimes it'll cost a lot in terms of my time but then at the end of the day if it works then it'll all be worth it.
3. Planning and Organizing
Organizing is one of the hardest skills to maintain and being consistent with the level of it. Believe it or not, this blog actually helped me a lot when it comes to finding work or even ideas that were long gone. Being organizing made me see how easy my life was, how quick i just get on with the tasks since all the resources i need is right there. Being organized is very essential as it allows me to reach my standard as to how much work i should be doing per day. With the resources provided from the school ( storyboards, calendar, each diving sheets) it made me more aware of what i should be doing and when i should be doing it. This means that if everything goes the way i wanted it to be, the final project will be up to the standards of our group.
4. Creativity
I never actually thought i'd be able to do this or get this far with my creativity. I wouldn't consider myself as someone who really does things in a way in which is different or that it has an abstract sense to it. Sometimes i really do find it hard to just let go and let my mind wander off, doing whatever that pops in my mind and JUST DO IT . However, this task enabled me to experience that and for me to actually think outside the box. I remember writing everything i possibly can think of down on paper , coming up with new ideas, so abstract i couldn't even understand it fully. This task made me realized how important it is to let go and how easy it is to do that. For me it's all about overcoming that fear of getting it wrong, or that fear of certain consequences or even the fear of not making the final project up to my own standards. I have learnt to take risks and that in the real world there is no right or wrong answer as long as it's from ur heart and that you believe in yourself.
