Finally Done

We finished the sound for our video on Friday - all rather exciting! The main song we're using is very powerful, the meaning of the song is not entirely related to our theme, but there are certain lyrics which do go very nicely. So we edited this song, only using the lyrics we felt were suitable, and combined it with another song which is purely melody - we feel the sound and rhythmn fit the timing of the video.
The main song is by The John Butler Trio - 'What You Want'. Its actually about a couple breaking-up, yet they both still feel strongly for eachother but neither can bring themselves to make the first move. It therefore relates to our theme, this lack of communication and not wanting to make the first move. We used the lyrics which were fitting to our video and repeated them throughtout the track:

"What you want to say...";

"I'm sick of communicating over the telephone"; (this relates to the use of telephones in our video and the idea of people nowadays solely communicating via technology instead of face-to-face)

"But tell me how you feel, for I am lonely too, need you to know I'm just as cold and numb as you...";

"But I could fly away, or I could be no one..."

We used these lines repeatedly throughout the soundtrack and combined this song with parts of another song by Eric Mongrain - 'Fusions'. 'Fusions' is more upbeat and has a suitable sound and rhythmn which we feel fits nicely with the colours and tempo of our video.

So thats us done now...finally! We just have to burn it onto DVD and upload it onto YouTube and all that jazz...
