Nerd Love Lyrics

Here are the lyrics of Nerd Love. We dicided to choose this song because of the lyrics.The lyrics are quite meaninful in terms of how a couple fall in love no matter what you look like or how you are as a person. This song shows that a normal girl falls in love with a nerd, even though people laughs at him, she still falls in love with. This song gives meaning of falling in love but has a comical side to it, this gives us an opportunity to give a proper video of two people falling in love but give it a funny twist to it as well.

Kasabian

The Kasabian's website design and layout is fairly clear and simple, this is good because it means it is easy to navigate. This website follows the normal codes and conventions in terms of layout and design. It is split into secments to make it easy for the user to navigate the website. For example, the main content (Kasabian) is placed in the centre of the webpage, this is done for promotional reasons. Also the website has navagational tools across the top of the page which take the user of the website to different pages of the website. There is no links to the right hand side of this website which is one of the codes & conventions in terms of the design and layout of a website. This website has a video in the centre of the websites homepage, this follows the technical codes of a website, these include pictures, videos etc. This website has a video as soon as you open the website. This is done to show and promote the band. Since this website has a music video on the homepage then it distinctly shows that it is for entertainment purposes and its codes and conventions show that it is a music related website. This website isn't the best in terms of layout it only has a few links at the top to take the audience to different sections of the website, most websites have a bit of information and pictures about the band/artist on the homepage, however this website only has a video to promote the band.

'Nerd Love' on Youtube

Maisie has put 'Nerd Love' on youtube, this is the song which have planned to use since we first started our A2 studies. We chose this song because of the lyrics which are used. We believe that the lyrics will help with making a fun but meaningful video.
