Copyright Clearance - Letter Explained
As a group we had confidently chosen to go with the Set Fire To The Rain by Adele track for our promotional package, in order to use this we had to get permission from the copyright holder, or else we'd breach the copyright act. So we therefore created a formal letter addressed to the artist and its record company in order to attempt permission.
This included;
- Who we were and where we were contacting from
- Reasons why we wanted to use the song
- Asking for permission
- And explaining that we'd not publicly post the video (e..g prevent from earning profit.)
- Signature

Mainstream vs Independent (indie)- Task 11
My research findings of the differences in appeal to target Mainstream vs. Independent (indie):
Favourite previous student video- Task 8
This is my favourite past student music video was Hall of fame:
The fast paced pan grabs the attention of the viewer and helps create a sense of energy for the beat.It is as though the viewer is running with the character as it is shown in their point of view.
In terms of the video visually,the filter used helps to enhance the mood set to be created such as one of reflection. This suits the lyrics of the song.
The transition effect of fading used, is used very smartly as it ties in with the mood of the video.
The slow motion used helps this video be set apart from the normal conventions of a rap video, as it adds emotion and reflection to not only the lyrics but also the characters with the actual video.
