Task One – Choosing the track/gaining permission

In order to gain access to the music video i used Youtube in order to find which piece of music i wanted to create the music video for. As there was very little ways of contacting the artist i left a comment on there video. The reason behind us choosing this video is due to it being a great choice of indie rock music, as well as the beat that the song has to offer isn't boring and is also varies in tempo which helps a lot when we have to edit to the beat. This song also doesn't currently have a music video so therefore it gave us an open opportunity in what we could mask up in order to produce one for this song.




The copyright infringement law was introduced in 1988, this is the reason being why we had to ask the owners of the music video if we could use it was due to it being an act of copyright. The copyright act is illegal and if you get caught using someones copyrighted media there can be serious consequences taken place. In order to gain permission/ access to the footage you may want to acquire you could always contact the artist in order to gain the permission, with solid evidence that you are allowed. There are some included copyright restrictions on Youtube, that if someone is to copy a video/music Youtube will mute it therefore no further copies of the music can be made.

One example of copyright that has been made within the music industry is Vanilla Ice taking the specific and unique backing track that queen had owned from the song Under Pressure. This song was preformed in 1981, and later on in the 1980's this is when Vanilla Ice decided to copyright the backing track.
