Introduction


Hello everyone im going to show the production of my second piece of media course work in my 2 years in A levels through my blog. the choice was between music video or a short video, i've choosen to do my own music video. As im working alone i've gained alot of freedom with my own work and choices so im going to do a music video on Johnaton coulton's song RE. your brains which he currently has no offical video for. RE. your brains is primarily a zombie parody song about a recently turned zombie, Bob trying to eat his old co partner at the office where he worked.
I'll give alittle back ground on Johnation coulton he was born on December 1, 1970 from brooklyn, new york city. he is a ex computer programmer who moved into singer song writer status. he plays including accordion, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, ukulele or glockenspiel while being backed by guitar, bass and drums. he became more and more popular through use of the internet yet has not really hit mainstream listeners due to his songs appealing to listens of folk rock, geek rock and rock. Geek rock is a theme throughout because Johatons quick wited and fun lyrics poke fun at Geek situtaions and themes such as video games or computing. this is clear that the demographic of watchers are clearly game players when most of the fan videos are often world of warcraft or a machinema. Interestingly too Johnaton coulton has two of his songs on Valve games which is quite a profitable business the song RE. your brains features on jukeboxs in the Left for dead 2 game aswell as another of his songs Still alive on the game Portal by Valve.
