The track we have chosen to use is Alex G's 'Make Your Move' which I have embedded above, the reason I chose this song in particular is that the song allows me to create a story alongside the relevant lyrics, also the person we will be using in the video will suit the sort of theme and look we are going for. The storyline we have in mind involves us portraying themes of confusion and searching for yourself. It also has a lot of background themes of love, life and acceptance, in which this allows us a widespread of ideas we can use.
When using other peoples media creations, it is vital that you are not breaking any copyright laws. This is because you could be using someone else's work as your own for your own beneficial gain. This means that we must ask permission before using Alex G's soundtrack, so she says it is okay, and we let her know we are not using it for any financial gain and only for educational purposes. It is important for an artist that these copyright laws are in place so that no one can claim that the media is theirs and benefit off of it, it protects the artist from losing rights to work that is theirs.
" Dear Alex G,
I am writing in regards to get permission for me and another student, to use the audio of your song, "Make Your Move" as the soundtrack for my school coursework. I am currently studying BTEC Media Studies, in Robert Clack Sixth Form, Dagenham, Essex. The coursework involves creating a music video together for a track of our choice, we decided that we really like your song and it would fit with our ideas perfectly. The video is solely for academic purposes only, we will not be financially gaining from this video at all. We are looking forward to hearing back from you regarding our request for permission to use your song for our coursework.
Thank you for your time,
Yours Faithfully,
Joeann Murphy. "
