Unfortunately, we were having difficulties with our chosen song, 'Piece of Mind'- Kehlani because of lip-syncing issues and the meaning behind the lyrics not quite fitting with the narrative we were trying to create. Instead of spending hours searching for another song we decided to use our runner-up, 'Better in Time'- Leona Lewis because the structure of the song is more in line with the ideas we have for the video and there is a female singer so we won't have trouble finding a singer. However, this song in the pop genre which is great because it will allow us to explore with subverting the conventions of the genre.
As stated before, this song represents women as independent and liberated which is in line with our theme about the representation of women in the media. The narrative throughout the song talks about how the female protagonist [no longer needs a man and that shes better off now], this gives us more than enough substance to build a strong storyline for our music video. A bonus is that the song is slow and Leona Lewis' voice is very clear which will make easier for us to match up the lip-sync to the song.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
