Today we started to think about what our band name could be, as well as possible ideas for our track list. We used a word generator to provide us with starting points on which to build our ideas, I feel that this was a very useful tool to use as we found it quite difficult to think of interesting words ourselves. We were looking for particularly striking words as we want our band name to be unique. We took note of words that we liked which also sparked our imaginations and allowed us to think more creatively, we began to combine different words to create song titles. I feel that we have plenty of interesting words that could be used for song titles, however, we haven't decided on a band name yet.

We also had to think about what we could rename our chosen song, 'Hypnotic'. It proved to be quite difficult to think of an original name as 'hypnotic' is such a prominent phrase in the song and an ideal title. A word that stood out to us when using the word generator was 'evection', which means
irregularity in the moon's motion caused by perturbations of the sun and planets, perturbations meaning
deviation of a system from its regular or normal state caused by an outside influence. We thought that this was quite fitting as the character in our music video is '
deviating' from her regular life, her overwhelming love causing '
irregular' behaviour as she tries to escape. We also liked the idea of having an oxymoron within the title, for example, 'Blanc Noir', meaning 'white black' in French. I feel that this represents the character's inner conflicts, her mediocre life and her desire to escape, her calm side and crazed side. I feel that this juxtaposition helps to create confusion, emphasising this theme within our music video.
