The song I have chosen to use as my song is Somewhere only we know by Lily Allen. The song is a really slow and slowly grows with time. Lily Allen is an artist is fairly well known and is generally classed in the singer/songwriter or indie folk genre. Her songs always have a lot of meaning behind them but at the same time they don't always have a narrative that is easy to perceive. I want to encapsulate the feel of the song in the name of the artist. I want to use the theme of dreaming as the song itself is fairly slow and gently plays on.
Ideas
- Siren- A Siren (commonly known as a mermaid) is described as a dangerous, beautiful creatures and are often portrayed as women. They were known for luring sailors with enchanting music to their death at sea. I thought that this is alike to a light house but its luring sailors to safety rather than to their deaths. Also the sea is both dangerous and beautiful at the same time so this connects quite well to the name.
- Reverie- This is a state of being lost in thought or daydreaming. It can also be known as being a piece of music that suggests a dreaming or musing state. I like the idea of this name as in many other song 'reverie' is used to describe the state of the singer and so would fit nicely with the theme.
- Forecastle- Pronounced 'foaksul', is the forward part of a ship containing the crews living quarters. This idea could give the idea of that part of the ship being the place most peaceful, where the sailors sleep, This connects with the theme of the sea and of sleep/dreaming

WWW: Some interesting names here and you have considered their connotations.
EBI: You need to ask people their interpretations of the names and have a wider variety for them to choose from. This is vital to gain audience feedback, to help with your evaluation questions.

What went well:
The three options of the artist names are described in detail and are all very different and unique.
Even better if:
You film your target audience on what names they prefer and why, so you get feedback from people who will watch your video. Also you could add, why you think the name would be suitable and how it fits in with the Artist Theme and character.
