Update on music video pitch:

Hi everyone, 
Today me and my group (Me, Tammy, and Elsie) filmed the pitch for our music video ideas that we have at the moment. We are soon going working on editing it so as everyone can see what our ideas are so far (as obviously, some bits might change late on in the filming or editing of our video). 
We will make sure to keep you up to date and let you know when it is finished,
thanks for reading :)

Music video- Copyright permission

Hi people, basically we were asked to email the band (in our case Mcfly) or artist who made the song that we are choosing to use for our final music video, asking for consent to use their song. We used Tammy's email to send them a message, here is what we sent:

Music video pitch

Hi everyone, so basically this is what me, Tammy, and Elsie have come up with so far with regards to ideas for our final music video. We will later be filming the actual pitch and be posting it at a later date.

Music video song choice

Hi everyone, basically me, Tammy, and Elsie have decided what song we want to do for our final music video that we will be making later on.

We chose the song 'Transylvania' by Mcfly, which was released in 2006

We decided that we want to do this song because we liked the spooky, Halloween kind of feel that was in it and thought that it would just be a really fun song to play with.

Although we have already decided that we want to add some spookiness to our own video (so as what is seen on the screen matches the sounds), we are still going to try our best to make it as different from the actual music video as possible. For example, the official video for this song is not serious and is kind of the band dressing up and having a laugh. However, we decided that we wanted our own version to be a bit more serious, as well as have a story line that matches with the lyrics and what we think of when we hear the song.

Here's a look at the official video for the song:

We will soon be uploading our pitch for our music video, and will later be filming it.

Banned music videos

Hi everyone, this is a follow-up post of my last post 'Music video regulation'. Basically, this is a post where I talk about four different music videos that have been banned and why they were, as well as some of my opinions on how music videos have changed over time with regards to what is and isn't allowed to be shown in them.

The information about the first three music videos that I talked about in this post are from: http://www.clipd.com/tv/5751/12-music-videos-so-extreme-they-were-banned/
