Copyright Information
Hello,
In order to actually create our music video, Alex and I have had to email the owners of the song (Disney). Even though the chance of them actually responding is very slim, requesting permission is still important. This is what was sent:
"I am writing to you to request permission to film a music video version of your song 'One Little Slip'. 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)"

We'll begin storyboarding and scheduling pretty soon, which will kick-off the pre-production where we'll plan where to film, what we'll film, how we'll film it and allocation of time.

Camera Shot Ideas
Hello there!
Alright so Alex and I are looking at some videos and guides to help us thought-shower ideas for shots we can include in our music video. Something that I'm looking at it selective colour, which we'll hopefully in-corporate into our own music video somewhere, not entirely sure where yet.
The idea can be progressed with a shot of leaves falling around someone, with only the leaves in colour, and the rest of the scene in black and white. In my head it seems like a cool shot to implement. We'll get to testing this technique out soon. (Like we did with the cloning in the pre-lim) This will allow us to learn and practice the technique before we implement it for real and will hopefully be polished up.
I'll be uploading more videos similar to these as we want to use new techniques to break the boundaries that we're used to. We want to bring bigger and cooler things to our screen to try and show off our abilities. If we're able to implement new effects then it show's how knowledgeable we are and how well we can learn techniques.

Music Industry
Hey,
What does the music industry do for...?
Artists: Promote them - advertising, merchandise, posters etc. Manage them - give them a style and help negotiate gigs and deals.
Us: Provide us with music/entertainment.
Themselves: Make money, create a global brand/artist. Help unknown artists become famous.
Digital downloads may have saved the music industry rather than killed it off.
Interview with Hartwig Masuch, CEO of BMG
The balance of power is gradually swinging from music executives to its creative community and that a good thing
That days of massive advances for artists may be over but equally companies such as BMG are looking at 70% revenue contras acts for artists.
In general, the music industry has several levels of purpose:
1) Their main purpose is to get, because at the end of the day the companies are businesses, who need profit to stay active.
2) Provide the public with entertainment; if they didn't fulfil this purpose, then they would fail at the entire reason they were created - to produce music.

Music Video Ideas
Hey,
The song Alex and I have chosen to do for our music video is called Knew Little Slip' by Barenaked Ladies. The song is recognised as being in the film 'Chicken Little'. Our target audience, although not developed as to motive, we've decided will be teenagers. Which is why we've also chosen to do the song we are doing as our audience will have grown up watching films like Chicken Little. if not, then the song is something different and new to them that they can enjoy. Plus, the song does not have an official music video, which is why we've seen it as an opportunity to create one for it.
In terms of ideas, we want to try and create all of the scenes within the lyrics to match the visuals. We'll include all of these ideas in our pitch ofcourse, which will be posted later. But that's it for initial ideas.

Famous CD Covers
Hello!
So as apart of my research, I've looked into the some of the most famous CD covers of all time. I used 'Padlet' to help create a cool looking post.
