Chosen Song

After being put into groups and having a look at different ideas for a band and a song to choose for the project we ended up with Time Is Running Out By Muse. As a big Muse fan I was pleased with the choice of song and therefore think I can help put more input into the creativity of the project. The Genre of the band is alternate rock. This type of music is mainly listened to by a young adult audience ranging from 13 – 30.

Picking a song by Muse I think was an excellent choice due to many reasons. They have been around for just over 10 years and in that time they have gained a huge fan base. They have been influenced by bands such as Radiohead, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine and whilst the band have a clear individual style, these influences will be key to our audience research. Therefore I think our audience research will benefit from this.

Muse are a very influential themselves and are an extremely cinematic band and as a result I think we can have very open opportunities and potential for our creativity but unfortunately due to the time scale given we will have to be limited with our ideas and keep our feet firmly on the ground and not run away with our ideas.
