Choosing the track/gaining permission
The track that I was looking for is a very specific type of track because it has to show a range of different things within the song. The track has to be reasonable unknown so when it comes round to creating a music video it will be like experiencing what it would be like in a real industry. The song has to be quite up beat and has a change of pace so it isn't boring to listen to. Also because it is up beat and has a change of pace their can be different skills used to create the music video such as editing to the beat.
Also the song cannot be a rap song because where the artist generally speaks/sings really fast it will be virtually impossible to lip sync to the song. Also the song must have no or a minimal amount of swearing because it wouldn't be appropriate if it was going to be shown on television during the day.
We were looking on sites such as unsigned.com and youtube.com to find songs that aren't well known because they are the two top sites where you are more than likely to find songs that are virtually un-kown and which will be suitable for the type of music video that we are actually looking for.
Once the song has been chosen you will have to contact the artist to ask for permission to use their song. You will be able to contact them by messaging them by e-mail, on Twitter or even on Facebook. Once you have sent the message asking for permission you will have to screen grab/screen shot that you have asked for permission to prove that you have actually contacted the artist. Below is the evidence of me asking for permission to use their song.
The song that we have chose to use is The Loveable Rouges - Honest (ft Ms D). We chose this song because it is up beat and shows a change of pace and also because their is no music video already for the song and it is virtually unheard. Below is the song to Honest by Loveable Rouges and Ms D.
