Looking for an artist

For a music video to be any good it would have to cover a couple issues. 

1)Where to find artists
2)Copyright issues
3)The ideal track
4)Genres to avoid

It would be hard to find artists,  although there are websites like unsigned.com and Soundcloud which could help me find various artists.  We would have to ask for the artists permission tot use their song, but it would be easy if they aren't signed. 

To avoid Copyright issues, i will avoid using well known artist like Adele, Beyonce and Sam Smith. This is due to them being less likely to say yes or even respond to our emails and messages. New bands and solo artists would be easier for our Media music video project. 

The music video is not meant to be any longer than 5 minutes but no shorter than 3 minutes. The  music track has to be upbeat with a changing tempo. This is to make the music video different more interesting to listen to.  This will make it easier for the music video visually in music video. It must have enough vocals to show lip syncing and performance.

Country 

Rap normally has explicit language and sexual content 




Rap- often contains bad language and sexual references and is hard to lip sync to as the tempo is often very fast. This also makes it hard to learn the lyrics.Country/western- due to the conventional setting of the rural landscape and props/costumes typical to that of a 'cowboy' it is difficult to create a music video this genre effectively. I live in a town with little access to a rural area and being on a small budget it would be hard to get the correct costumes. Dubstep/trance- this genre of music often has little vocals that are highly synthesized/edited. This would mean that my music video would have little performance and the lip syncing would not look as effective as it would for an indie/rock song where the vocals are not edited as drastically.
