Research for Music Video... Copyright Clearance!

Task: Obtain Copyright Clearance for a British artist/band.


Copyright clearance is obtaining the artist's permission to use their music. By claiming this you have the right to copy and distribute the work. However if you don't have clearance it is illegal for you to distribute the work. During the summer I have looked into different genres and styles of music videos and I had decided to write to Kate Nash asking for copyright clearance. Her song 'We get on' inspired me to create a great music video. I came up with a few plans for it and wrote to Kate Nash's associates asking for permission of the song.



Here is a link to the song on Youtube, you can have a listen and see what you think:



The reason Kate Nash was such an inspiration at first is mainly because I like the style of her music and the videos that have been produced for her previous work have a lot of twisted humour, which is something that I like that goes with her relaxed style, one of her most famous releases was 'Foundations' in 2007.
