Choosing a track

It is now set in stone that I will use a song by my sister Chelsea Watts as the soundtrack of the products at A2.

The first track that I thought about using was "Run Down the Streets", a song by my brother Sam Watts featuring vocals by Chelsea. The reason why I wanted to use this track was because it has fun, catchy lyrics. However, my group and I ultimately decided against using "Run Down the Streets" because it is a particularly long track that lasts for 4.06 minutes. Instead, we felt that we should use a track that is about 3 minutes in length—the conventional length of a music promo video—in order to hold the audience's attention.

In a discussion with Chelsea, she suggested that I listen to her tracks on SoundCloud (), an online audio distribution platform.

My group and I felt that "Meant to Be" was the most appropriate track to use as the soundtrack of the products at A2 after listening to Chelsea's music on SoundCloud. There are many reasons for our decision, including that:

• I think that the song lyrics have the potential to serve as the basis for a catchy, colourful music video. 
• The song is relevant. It is highly likely that a music promo video, digipak and magazine ad would increase the popularity of the track. 
• The music artist herself thinks that it is a "great" idea to make a music promo video for this track:
