AS2: Task One – Choosing the track/gaining permission

The Track - "Stooshe See Me Like This"

The importance of gaining permission from the artist:

It is vital to ask for the artist's permission to use their song because we can then be drifted from any issues involving the law and the artists rights. In order to prevent breaking the copyright laws, there must be an agreement with the company before the software is installed. This will leave us in good hands, making our work get finished easier and quicker. We must understand the consequences if we have failed to contact the artists and ask what it is we want to do with their track, meaning they will have the right to sue us. Situations like these are why gaining permission from the girl band "Stooshe" is important for both us and the artists. We do not want to be held in the position of breaking the copyright laws as it would not be our direct attention to do so with the track, however the artists may think that our intentions are to do so. 

Permission from the artist:

Here is an email which includes our request to use the artists track. This was done so that we were not breaking any copyright laws on behalf of the artists. 



Why I have chosen this particular track:

What attracted me most into using this track is its unique video style and the girl band itself. I love the way how Stooshe are loud and vibrant in terms of their style and individual personalities and are unlike many british girl bands today which is what is so inspiring about them. When I saw the video of "See Me Like This", I loved every thing about it because they had funky texts throughout video which didn't make it seem boring to watch, they had a colour scheme which was just pink and black, lastly it was all focused on them and what they can bring to the viewers. This track has a lot of sassiness and a diva approach to it so it does match my personality in different ways which is why I believe I relate to this particular track most.

• Down load it a copy of the track and post the audio file on your blog. You may need to import it into Final Cut Express and then export it as a quicktime file.
