Almost finished

After completing our production we presented it to our class and got some feedback.
The majority of the class liked it however our tutor Mrs Allison told us how she disliked one of our night time shots.
In this shot we are panning left to right over a field with a small house in the background. However the shot was too dark which meant it wasn't an interesting shot as we could not see anything.
We have decided we will do some extra filming to find a suitable shot to replace this one.

Permission from the artist

During the planning stages before we started to film our production I sent a letter to Florence Welch who is the lead singer of Florence and the Machine asking for her permission to use the song.
This what i sent her in October.

Dear Florence Welch,
My name is Megan Saxton and i am a great fan of your music.
I am currently studying A Level Media and am writing on behalf of myself and two of my fellow students to ask for your permission to use your song 'The Dog Day Are Over' in a production we are currently working on. Our production includes finding a song, producing and making a music video for it.

I can ensure you the video will not be made public and we will not make any kind of profit from it. We will also not use any video material that you have originally created.

Many thanks in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,

Myself, Megan Saxton and my team mates Emily Thomas and Sam Walton.
