For our 70s piece we have chosen to take a well-known song by a female artist and turn it into a Glam Rock piece. The song almost fits with our theme of Women's Rights and Equality. The trouble I think we will face with taking a pre-existing song is changing the melody to suit a different genre. As the already existing melody is so well remembered and catchy, it will be difficult to change it and for the audience to recognise.
To help overcome the dilemma of the melody, I showed the group another version of the song which uses a similar melody as the original but it has a twist to it. This helped a little bit as it stopped us going back to the original melody as much.
