Initial brief response

Initial thoughts?
I am quite excited to do a music video as I feel that I can contribute a lot of my skills from my AS work and use them for my A2 task. I will want to create an image that a modern day audience can relate to and will enjoy. Now days people like to have a good looking and young artist so when I look for my artist I will have to take this into consideration and maybe even use some make up on my artist to make them look appealing. I will have to create a theme and a genre that is consistent throughout my artists music, e.g. if I use a rock theme I will need to use stereotypical dark colours and research rock songs that I can create a video for. One problem I will have to face is getting the permission to do the song from the official artists, for example I have an idea to use the song 'Demons' by Imagine dragons, so I will have to get in contact with the group to get permission to do the song, so it might be better to find a song that has no official music video.

What skills do you think you will need to develop?
I feel the skills I will need to develop are my editing skills as it took me a while to edit a still image for my magazine so it will be harder to edit in my A2 as it consists of moving images so I will need to consider the time it takes to to edit my artist in the video. I will have to develop my camera skills as I have only used a camera to take photos of a still image, now I will have to use the camera to film a moving image of my artists. I will have to consider the different camera shots to express power, stereotyping and representation. I will want to use over cranking and under cranking in my video to try and express emotion and feeling in the video, but I will also express these features by using a few close ups and extreme close ups of the artists face and eyes.

What are you looking forward to the most?
I am looking forward to doing the filming and finding the locations the most as it will be very interesting to to do the research to find out about what location will be able to attract my TA.  I am also looking forward to coming up with different ideas for my video as I feel that I have many ideas to contribute to my video.

What worries you the most?
I am worried about trying to get the copyright for the song that I want to use in my music video, as my song idea for my music video is 'Demons' by Imagine Dragons and I am struggling to find an email address for the band to message them asking for their permission to us the song. I am also worried about capturing emotion and feeling that the artist has from the song, for example I will use different shot types to represent power and to gather emotion to make the audience really feel for the artist in the song. However I also worry about using the song 'Demons' as it already has an 'Official video' so there is a high possibility that the group will not let me use it for my music video.
