AS2 - Task One

Choosing our song and getting permission from the artist

Before we started to film and plan out our music video, we had to gain permission in order to use the music seeing as it is not owned by us. If you were to use this music without any permission you can get into serious trouble and end up owing lots of money to the user. In our case we were granted permission and planned out everything as soon as we could. Any songs are most likely to be copyrighted, seeing as we gained access to use the song our copyright strike will be revoked and will not be a big issue.

Once we were gained access to the song we had to choose the right track from a music website, we decided to choose YouTube seeing as there are billions of videos on there already and we were guaranteed to find the one. In the end we decided to choose the lyric version as the song did not have any background noise unlike the official music video which gave us an opportunity to add in little extras that we wish to use, an example of this can be the use of an echo in the hall rather than students voices.

To conclude, we decided to choose this track as a group because we knew that it is very catchy and a lot of people would like this song. Whilst we was listening to this song we had an idea on what it was about and so many ideas running through our head meaning that we knew this was the one for us!
