Analyse the Track - Task 3 of Unit Two Assignment Brief 2
"Holiday"
The Lyrics and Songs shows what we call an everyday relationship between two people relationship with each other that always end with one of them leaving each other to pursue another relationship with someone else.
It what everyone in the world has been through (don't lie). Well this song is aimed at guys and girls who have had this happened to them before or has yet to experience it.
(First Verse)
Top shelf, girl is made of gold
(Guy meets Girl at a party in Ibiza)
Step into it, close enough to feel the cold
(Guy is talking to Girl)
Where I wait days with no return
(But she rejects him)
The sun, one, loves to make feel the burn, the burn
(Every Day in Ibiza, he sees her but she "pretends" not to see him)
(Chorus 2)
She’s my holiday
(She is beautiful as a holiday location)
Only here for the game
(She is here to have some fun as she is on holiday)
My favourite mistake
(He keeps on making mistake every time he see her)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)
(Second Verse)
Night fall, she’s a painted face
(Every night, she used the darkness of the night to hide)
Not the only one who wants to win the race
(Other guys are trying to win her affection)
While I wait days become the same
(As more guys are trying to win her affection, he feels that he won't win against these guys)
Heart still, in the end she calls my name, my name
(But she knows how many guys wants her so she calls his name)
(Chorus 3)
She’s my holiday
(She is beautiful as a holiday location)
Only here for the game
(She is here to have some fun as she is on holiday)
My favourite mistake
(He keeps on making mistake every time he see her)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)
(Chorus 3)
We can make it together
(The Guy and the Girl are together)
And I know
(He knows that they are together)
We can make it on our own
(They need to make the relationship their own as they are together at last)
(Third Verse)
Always finds a way to run
(The Girl feel nothing from the relationship anymore)
Only when the heart begins to sound a drum
(His heart is beating with fear of losing the Girl)
As we play I can feel the way
(As their sexual relationship are fun together but their is no emotion)
Half gone must be close to her escape, escape
(Sadly, the girl leaves the relationship to pursue another)
(Chorus 4)
She’s my holiday
(She is beautiful as a holiday location)
Only here for the game
(She is here to have some fun as she is on holiday)
My favourite mistake
(He keeps on making mistake every time he see her)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)
(Chorus 5)
She’s my holiday
(She is beautiful as a holiday location)
Only here for the game
Only here for the game
(She is here to have some fun as she is on holiday)
My favourite mistake
(He keeps on making mistake every time he see her)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)
Living inside the maze
(But he still looks for her every day)

Analyse the Artist - Task 2 of Unit Two Assignment Brief 2
Analyse the artist
Electric Guest
Electric Guest is a Los Angeles-based band formed in 2011. The group comprises Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton nicknamed "Cornbread" for unknown reason. Along with brothers Todd and Tory Dahlhoff playing bass and keyboards/guitar, respectively, in the touring version of the band.
Asa Taccone is the Vocal of the Electric Guest and also Instrumental
Matthew "Cornbread" Compton is the Drummer of the Electric Guest
Todd Dahlhoff is the Bass Guitar of the Electric Guest
Tory Dahlfoff is the Guitar and Keyboard Player of the Electric Guest
Asa used to produce a lot of hip hop but one day, walking out of the visiting room of a prison, coming from visiting a friend, another prisoner stopped him and asked "Are you Asa". He replied "yes" and the guy said, "I like your music, I'm gonna hit you up when I get out of here". After that encounter, Asa decided to stop doing hip hop.
One of the members of the band, the keyboard player Tory, lived in Asa and Matthew's (they're roommates) backyard in a tent for 6 months to try to save money. He would come in when it rained but that was it.
The first Electric Guest song to be played on radio was a song called 'Troubleman' that is nearly 9 minutes long.
Matthew is afraid of snakes because of a traumatic experience he had growing up. A snake fell on him from a garage door while it was opening.
Asa got shingles while making the album because he was so stressed out.
A few of the song's vocals on Electric Guest's album 'Mondo' are from dictaphone vocal takes that were initially used for the demos but ended up being kept out of sheer laziness.
Asa saw a video of a young Matthew Compton playing drums at a basement show in Virginia. At one point in the video, he drank half of a 40, then pours the rest all over the drum kit and then plays super aggressively, causing the alcohol to spray everywhere. (Twas Awesome)
The middle name of all 2 members of the group is "Michael", after Michael Jackson. Asa is such a big MJ fan that in 2009 when Michael Jackson went to the hospital in L.A. and died, Asa would spend hours singing songs, crying, holding hands with other fans of Michael Jackson.
Asa is the son of Theatre Director Tony Taccone and younger Brother of Jorma Taccone who is famous for playing along side Adam Samberg in Hot Rod and he voiced William Shakespeare in The Lego Movie and appearing in Grown Up 2 as the Male Cheerleader.
Asa also wrote the original songs for several of American Dad! episodes, including Hot Water, Minsteral Krampus and Rubberneckers
Asa has composed the old and new Springfield anthem from The Simpsons episode, "Walking Big & Tall"

Producing a Music Video - Task 1 of Unit Two Assignment Brief 2
Producing a Music Video
To obtain permission to use a work protected by copyright, you must determine who is the copyright owner of the material you intend to use, contact the owner, and request the right to use the work in the territory and format you intend, and in some cases pay the owner a fee. Often the most difficult part of this process is finding the owner to ask permission to use the work. To make that a little easier, we have provided some information about researching copyright ownership for music, with addresses of record companies and music publishers, as well as film and television producers, publishers and other entities through which you might be able to clear rights. In addition, we have provided sample permission letters for you to use in drafting your letter to the copyright owners once you have identified them.
The instant you write or record an original song, be it on a cocktail napkin or sing it into your iPhone, you get six exclusive legal copyrights as granted by the government.
These six legal copyrights (in no particular order) are:
- Reproduction
- Derivatives
- Public Display
- Public Performance
- Distribution
- Digital Transmission
This is a image from a screen shot of the message that I have sent to Electric Guest to ask them permission to use their song. The reason why I asked for their position.

Task 7: Understand the Techniques of Music Videos (Foo Fighters)
Understand the Techniques of Music Videos
Foo Fighters
A task has been given to us with an idea to do a Foo Fighters video of our own with some editing of our own and an editing of our storyboard in the video. In order to this we were told to make a storyboard.
We have taken 9 main shots of the music video each with a member of the Music Videos performing the song which is actually us lip syncing towards the songs and some movements to make the music video more entertaining.
We then sliced up all nine of our shot to shorten our music video. Then we added in some bits and bobs of the music video shots into the main part of the music video and mashed up together. Once we mashed them up into a video towards my liking.

Elton John ft Kiki Dee Parody Video
A task has been given to us with an idea to do a Elton John video of our own with some editing of our own in the video. So I and the others (Babs, Ronaldo, Edison and Usman) came up with idea of me and Babs being the lead vocals/singers and the others (Usman, Ronaldo and Edison). In order to do this video we need to learn basic of creating a music with the use of different type of shots and using the dolly.

Proposal
Prepared by
Babajide Shokeye
|
Our music video for the song “Holiday” by Electric Guest will be set in several of different locations and tells the story of a young guy trying to win the girl of his dreams. The music video will take place in a number of different locations such as, central London, Central Park (in Dagenham) and a studio space. Each different location will tell little part of the young guys story. While doing that we would film in the locations where it would be suitable to film the music video, plus we would want to film the video at a certain time of the day around the summertime, which is around the evening because the song really feels like the scenery is a nice sunset atmosphere. The music video will conclude with the guy winning the girl.
