OUR song

We had a selection of songs lined up to use for out choice, we short listed a few songs that we felt would represent what we wanted in the video. We wrote to 3 producers in total and as we heard from 'Bud Fox Management' first we took the opportuity to get out song sorted so that we could start planning and brain storming out ideas.

As a group we have decided to go ahead with contacting the producers of the band 'the shout out louds' with regards to using thier song 'show me something new'. We felt that this song was well fitted to out task as it had the right tone - Happy and uplifting. We felt that the lyrics with in the song offered us many opportunities to link out video qith the lyrics.

Surprisingly the managers of the band 'Bud Fox Managment' got back to us with in 30 minutes of sending the message, the message recieved was very brief and to the point but none the less still clarified if we could use thier music. Here are the series of emails that were sent:

Ellie,

Many thanks for your message and good luck with your project. A wise choice of music!

Sadly Weekender Records has closed down in the UK but I have forwarded your request to Shout Out Louds manager Filip in Sweden. Hopefully he will respond directly to you. Otherwise you can e-mail him yourself at: Filip Wilén

Best wishes,

Dear Weekender Records UK,

My name is Ellie Brown and I am an A level student at Saffron Walden County High Sixth Form. For my Media Studies coursework my group members and I have the task of designing and producing an amateur music video. I am writing to request permission to use a song by the ‘Shout Out Louds’ as the stimulus for the project. The songs we are deciding between are; ‘Show Me Something New’ and ‘Fall Hard’. The ideas and material will be completely our own, but we would love to be able to use either of these songs as the base of our project. The video will not be used for promotional or financial benefit, it is only for our A level coursework and will be shown only to the examiners and possibly other media students within the sixth form.

Thankyou for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Ellie Brown
