Producing a Music Video - Task 1 of Unit Two Assignment Brief 2

Producing a Music Video

To obtain permission to use a work protected by copyright, you must determine who is the copyright owner of the material you intend to use, contact the owner, and request the right to use the work in the territory and format you intend, and in some cases pay the owner a fee. Often the most difficult part of this process is finding the owner to ask permission to use the work. To make that a little easier, we have provided some information about researching copyright ownership for music, with addresses of record companies and music publishers, as well as film and television producers, publishers and other entities through which you might be able to clear rights. In addition, we have provided sample permission letters for you to use in drafting your letter to the copyright owners once you have identified them.

The instant you write or record an original song, be it on a cocktail napkin or sing it into your iPhone, you get six exclusive legal copyrights as granted by the government.

These six legal copyrights (in no particular order) are:

• Reproduction
• Derivatives
• Public Display
• Public Performance
• Distribution
• Digital Transmission

This is a image from a screen shot of the message that I have sent to Electric Guest to ask them permission to use their song. The reason why I asked for their position.

Task 7: Understand the Techniques of Music Videos (Foo Fighters)

Understand the Techniques of Music Videos

Foo Fighters

A task has been given to us with an idea to do a Foo Fighters video of our own with some editing of our own and an editing of our storyboard in the video. In order to this we were told to make a storyboard.

We have taken 9 main shots of the music video each with a member of the Music Videos performing the song which is actually us lip syncing towards the songs and some movements to make the music video more entertaining.

We then sliced up all nine of our shot to shorten our music video. Then we added in some bits and bobs of the music video shots into the main part of the music video and mashed up together. Once we mashed them up into a video towards my liking.

Elton John ft Kiki Dee Parody Video

A task has been given to us with an idea to do a Elton John video of our own with some editing of our own in the video. So I and the others (Babs, Ronaldo, Edison and Usman) came up with idea of me and Babs being the lead vocals/singers and the others (Usman, Ronaldo and Edison). In order to do this video we need to learn basic of creating a music with the use of different type of shots and using the dolly.
