Music I have chosen:
Album - Media Music Mix
Song - Stylish Groove
With what I had in mind, I wanted to pick the song 'Stylish Groove' because I love how it just started off as an ambient flow, and then half way it starts to roll and the beats getting louder which gives it more of an adventurous sound, which brings the audience excitement to dance to.
Also, I think it is significant that there is a copyright license there, when we're about to download, because it's to make sure that we don't use it, as if it was our OWN/ and it's to show that it belongs to the artist who made the song, so others don't steal it. So we must give them credit for their work, otherwise what would be the point for the artist to make songs if people keep stealing them, and getting them into the wrong side of mind, that they were the ones who made the song, even when they know fully right that they didn't. It sometimes irritates the artists. So it's really important that we must follow the terms of service, otherwise we'll start receiving copyright strikes for not giving the artist any credit whatsoever, and it would just be like a situation you absolutely can't get out of.
Theme/Representation:
As I had a listen through the piece, I would think that this song's theme is about going to a dance/concert/club or creating vlogs/going on a round the world tour, someone walking in the park while having their headphones on, because the music is more flowing and then suddenly changes into a chill beat, which takes you on an adventure into another world.
For it's representation, it could symbolise: freedom, adventure or can be used for a person's life to make their journey a lot more interesting for them.
Here is an example I searched:
Type of Video:
For the ideas I came up with, I went with more of a video mashup video - type, because I think it really matches the way the music flows, and drags you into another world with it's sounds.

On https://www.videezy.com/ I found so much varieties that I couldn't decide which one to choose, so I began choosing these for the final 3:
My finished promoting video in Clip champ:
(Video under 60 seconds)
Throughout editing this video, I changed a couple of things, like I added transitions, filters, text and 10 videos with different meanings behind them. In other words, different videos that may symbolise the music I have chosen. What people do in their every day lives when they hear this song, or what thoughts comes into their head.
The videos I have chosen, which I think personally, is the best way to represent this track, because as I took a closer look at their backgrounds, it brings out a deeper meaning about the truth of the genre I chose (e. g - adventure, chill, dance). What the audience can see/enjoy most in life. What they are expecting to see.
Videos I have included:
I was going through every album he created, and I tried previewing all of his tracks to see which one was suitable to my liking, so I went with 'Stylish Groove'. When I listened to the track, I started gaining ideas on what the representation will be. So with the videos I have chosen, it makes the audience wanting to dance along with it, by the way the video flows in rhythm, and changes by every beat the track makes. So for me as the producer, I would be thinking "Woah, it even matches the style of the video, and makes people feel the summer vibe already. I'll add it in." In the videos I have picked out, some of them show us what we can do when we have time for ourselves, such as listening to music, dancing, go out with friends or taking a stroll in the park. As for the creativity in videos such as adding background, effects (e. g - smoke, lights, colour) can bring a spark of light and relaxation to an audience's eye socket.
For example, the woman holding a smoke bomb and the smoke is moving slowly until it fills the background behind her. Then she steps out of the smoke (viewing her from a slightly low angle) to create a dramatic effect.
