Research into artist

Birdy
Carrying out research on the artist of the song that I will be using for my music video, will help me with creating my music video as I can look more into her music and the genre of her songs. From discovering Birdy's music type, it will enable me to use different conventions that are appropriate to the genre of music. Also, looking at the artist's background and career will help me when it comes to talking about what music labels to use for my music video that is most appropriate. Also, this research will provide me with information about the artist and to look at all of her other videos to get more ideas for my own.
