Inspiration

Hi guys, recently I've been watching a wide variety of music videos to gain inspiration and ideas on editing, shots, but mainly the effects. I wanted to share this video with you all as I think that, although whilst watching it you may think it is very simplistic, I think it is also very effective. The video is called 'No Harm' by Editors and last 5 minutes. All the ideas put together including, the slow motion, the B&W effect, the close up and long shots, make a very efficacious but easy video to create.

I will leave the video linked below for anyone who's interested in watching:

Media Regulations

Copyright email for music video

Hi guys, today I emailed Sia's record company in order to recieve permission to use the song 'Breathe Me' for my final A2 music video. The email I sent said:





'I am writing to you to request permission to film a music video version of your song 'Breathe Me' by Sia. This forms part of my OCR A-level Media Studies course where my task is to record a music video to a song of my choice. It is only for assessment purposes and will not be used for any commercial or profit seeking purposes. I acknowledge your copyright of the material and will not use it for any other purpose than that stated above. 

If you require any further information or clarification regarding the use of this material for educational purposes please contact my teacher Mr Welch (welchch@tuptonhall.derbyshire.sch.uk).'




And here is proof of my email.
