I'll be the first to address the fact that gaining permission from our artist through twitter may not be the most 'conventional' method of requesting royalties to someones artwork out there. But it worked. I sent a message over the popular social networking site 'twitter' to Ed Sheeran (our artist) and quickly received back a message in response which clearly showed enthusiasm in allowing us to make a music video from his song 'one night'. This will be our last song change as we're scheduled to begin filming next week. However we already have a storyboard and shooting schedule which will be posted in the next couple of days when I am able to gain access to a scanner.. :)
Also I didn't realise when naming my twitter account that it would come into my media work, if I had I would have named it something with a bit more dignity.
It is important to gain permission to use someone's work before you use it as without such, it would be stealing something that belongs to them. By gaining permission we are allowed access to the song that you have asked for and without this it would be illegal to use their property for any commercial use.
