Music Video

Our media studies A2 project is to develop a new music video to an existing song. Instead of doing this individually, we are working in groups of three. I believe this is a good idea as many ideas can be put into this piece of work to make it the best it can possibly be.
Before we use a piece of music, we need permission from the music company to use it as there is a strong possibility the song is copyrighted. We cannot use any original ideas from our chosen song's video, however we can adjust and reconstruct ideas from other videos.
Our initial idea was to use a song which is not as well acknowledged; one, to receive permission earlier, and two, so the chances of someone else using our song is slim and we can use more original ideas. We decided not to do a popular pop song, as it limits our originality of ideas and there is more of a chance that somebody else will be using it not only from our school, but around the country. We want to stand out and show that we can receive the best possible marks from our work.
