Location permission

We are also using Harrow View Point, which is a public place therefore we do not need permission

Actor's Permission

For our music video, we need to get permission from our actors to ensure that we can use them in our music video. As we are using two main characters and extras, we included them all in one form. The permission form looks like this:

Storyboard

We took a different approach to creating a storyboard. 

This is because, although our music video follows a story, it does not follow a specific order. For example, although the argument would come later, it could also come earlier or at the start. We found that many music videos mix up there shots like this.


Therefore, we decided to draw each scene we wanted to use and each idea on our storyboard. We then cut them out and lined them up.



After, we played the song, and referred back to the lyrics in order to decide where we think each shot/scene should go in relation to the others.

We understand that this could change, however for now it gives us an idea.

Permission letter for the song

Date: Tuesday, 13 October 2015

Republic Records (Universal Music Group)

Dear Lucian Grainge (Chairman & CEO)

Our names are Sophie Compton and Alice Freeman-King and we are currently studying A level Media Studies at Aldenham School.

As part of our coursework this year, we are creating and producing a music video to a song of our choice. We have chosen 'Let it go' by James Bay as the song we would like to create a music video for, and we are writing this letter to seek your permission to do so.

Please note, this video will be used only for my coursework and will not be distributed or marketed in any form. We would greatly appreciate your permission to use this song,

Many thanks,

Sophie Compton and Alice Freeman-King.

Inspiration for my digipack

As the genre of our song is blues rock, we have taken time to research different fonts, colour schemes, photo and layout uses within this genre. 

We would like to use a similar to this because we like the simplicity and it is very easy and clear to read.

 we believe a dark colour scheme is more effective than a brighter one as it is more appropriate to the songs on the album and this allows it to touch the audience more powerfully. We also like the way the red lips stand out on a black and white shot, therefore we would like to use this in our digipak.


As our ideas are based around a argument within a relationship, we feel the front of the digipack should include emotion that the audience can expect within the song.

For the layout of the digipack, we would like the writing of the artist and the albums name to go in the middle of the front cover. We believe this will make the name of the artist stand out.
