Song Permission

Before we Planned to shoot it was necessary for us to obtain permissions to use the song by the representatives of the band. We emailed 'Bridge Nine Records' is regards to using their song with the following "
Hello,
We are doing an A2 Media Project for a music video, and we have decided to use the song 'I Don't Mind' by Defeater. We are inquiring as to whether we have permission to use the song. No profit will be made from the video, it is for academic purposes only. If we receive no reply, due to the educational usage of the music, we will assume you give your permission.
Thanks.
Dom Waldron (Ken Stimpson Community School)

We then received back an email confirming that we have permission to use the song, with the condition that credit must be given to them.

Colour Correction Research

Over the last few day i have been looking into how to colour correct video in Premiere Pro, as well as how the tools to do this work. I have learnt to navigate the effects used for colour correction and have learn the very basics of doing this. I will continue to learn how to improve my skills in the following weeks untill we are finished editing.

I have also looked into depth of field editing, motion blur and slow motion effects. All of the editing ideas that have been put forward are achievable but i am lacking in the skills to do most of them and so i will have to spend a lot more time researching and learning the skills than i would have wanted to for the project.

To the left is the editing panel for some of the colour correction needed to edit the video to the warmth that we need for some of our scenes.
