Research and planning: Chosen artist

As a group we all found songs for our music video and we then cut the choice down to one. We chose a song called 'Darling Are You Gonna Leave Me' by London Grammar.


They are a British trip-hop trio formed by Hannah Reid, Dan Rothman and Dominic Major, their music has been described as "a blend of ambient, extremely delicate and light classical sounds" with melancholy guitar, soaring vocals and plaintive lyrics. Hannah Reid's powerful, brooding vocals, are often compared to Florence Welch. The songs are a collaborative effort as Reid explains: "I write the lyrics and the top lines. But the songs initiate from all three of us. Dot will write a piano part or a music score. Dan will add some guitars." She describes the songs as "emotionally affected" and "writes about people who come in and out of my life." The song "Wasting My Young Years", was written about her ex-boyfriend. 

Their music is very unique, interesting which has a mellow tone to it in which as a group we could create a different and intriguing music video.
