During our group research of unsigned artists, i came across eliza lumley, jem cookes, ben adams and a few other artists. These artists all fall into the jazz genre. I found their music is quite instrumental and delicate and so if we were to make a video for them it would be quite slow and would have to pay attention to detail.

Eliza Lumeleys music is very slow and moving and is quite haunting, the audience is drawn into her songs by having to pay very close attention to her voice in particular because she almost sounds like she's whispering, and her voice is very delicate.
What i found is that one of her tracks 'street spirit' has been pirated from a band; their version is called radio street spirit, which i found during my research for her lyrics on 'you-tube'. The band have made a video for their track. The video is black and white and quite slow, but it has clashes of fast pace things happening; there are certain characters that the camera concentrates on that break through because what they are doing is fast and full of energy.

This has given me and my fellow colleages some ideas of how to put our own video together and what we could include in it.
