Shortened Song ~ William Dixon

For our music video, we have made the decision to shorten the song from 4:58 to 3:58. We have done this by putting the song into Garage Band and cutting down the Loops and then finally adding a shorter Fade Out at the end which in total shortened the song by a minute. We did this because we felt that if the song was shorter we could keep the video more interesting in a shorter space of time. Also, this is quite a common thing for artists to do, for the same reason. Here is a list of songs that have done this: Bon Jovi’s Dry Country, Owl City’s Fireflies, Slipknot’s Before I Forget, Pendulum’s Watercolour and even Daft Punk’s Around the World.
