Final Music Video Track

For my final music video, I have decided to make use of the track
 'Waka Waka' by Shakira. I have done this for an array of different
 reasons, the most obvious being that it fits with the Dance genre
 and the 16-24 year old AB demographic. I also feel as though the 
subgenre of Dance that this music can be classed as suits the NEA 
brief also- having a contemporary subgenre certainly makes it more 
appealing to the target audience.
