When coming up with ideas for a music, I chose music with lyrics that meant something to me and would have an impact on the audience if they saw it. Additionally, I also researched this further by YouTubing their music videos. The song and video that I was most taken with was 'The A Team' by Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran started off by recording in 2005 but wasn't truly discovered until 2010 when his song 'The A Team' went to Number 3 in the UK Charts. It is a song that deals with problems that many people don't usually like to discuss such as prostitution, over-dose and abuse, thus focusing on a niche audience. Other artists such as Jason Mraz, James Morrison and Example are usually associated with him because of the type of music and meaning they wish to portray.
Jason Mraz

James Morrison
I also looked at Snow Patrol as a genre to focus on because we could use their songs and adapt it into our own. I like the idea of having someone potentially sitting still on a bench whilst the rest of the world is continuing in a sped up and edited version to show life continuing without and around him.
