Permission for filming and track use

Permission to use the track 'Arabella'

Below is the email in which we sent to the Arctic Monkeys 'General contact email' service located on their website. Meaning behind this is to gain permission to use the track to film our music video over and prevent any further issues such as copyright occurring. This would cause even more stress than what we already have to film it in the first place in such a short amount of time to fulfill good quality for our deadline.


Permission of our locations:

Locations for me personally, turned out to be the hardest factor to finalize where we actually are going to film. Initially in our pitch prezi, you can see that we brainstormed quite a few possible location ideas that could go with the music genre very well in an artistic fashion. However, many of them are too similar too each other, meaning that we settled on deciding one urban location and one woodland location. I believe this indicates to the audience that is isn't obvious that is was filmed in the same day. If the camera always ends up cutting to the same environment, viewers would begin to question the amount of thought that has gone behind it as it seems to be filmed in one afternoon.

We have planned to film part of the video on a roof top to add to the rebellious attitude that is portrayed by an indie rock band. This therefore meant that we had to send an email for permission to the business in which the rooftop is above. This is purely to prevent any unexpected hassle for the shop themselves being very busy on a daily basis and for us to undergo filming without any interruptions. The reason behind us choosing the specific shop we did (Co-op in Stapleford) is because we found it suitable yet again to the genre of the music video. Stapleford is suburban area but the location in which have chosen is slightly more urban and portrays that stereotypical, English rock 'n' roll image. The camera shots we will use there will cut our the roads that are beneath the rooftop and mainly focus on the brick walls surrounding the shop, portraying a very down to earth approach on camera.
