Due to copyright, to do the song we wanted for our music video we had to gain permission from the artist and record company to use the song. There were many ways in which we could have tried to contact the chosen artist and we tried all of them, as to this date none of the methods of communication had worked. After conferring with our media studies teacher he said that we are allowed to use the song as long as we made recognisable effort to get the permission. After showing them all of the different types of cummunication we tried to use they accepted that we had made an acceptable amount of effort.
Below are the different methods of communication we used to try and gain permission. The first method we used was via facebook. By liking Newton Faulkners page we were allowed to message him privately.

Another method of which we tried to use was twitter, this method wouldn't let us message him privately as he did not follow us back. Instead, we would have to tweet him. This turned out to be a bit of a pain as you are only allowed to 'tweet' up to 140 characters so we had to cut it up into separate tweets. Unfortunately we didn't get a reply.
We also tried to get in touch with his record company to allow us permissions to use his song, after trying to find an e-mail address or just an FAQ of which we could get onto there was no way of getting into contact with them. The record company of which he is signed to at the moment is Sony BMX. This label deals with a lot of famous singers and performers so they must have a way of getting into contact with them. I have spent hours of my own time trying to get into contact with the lable but can not find any way besided calling them on the site.
After all of this, me and my partner decided to choose a song of which hasn't got any copyright by a local artist called Tei Daresta who is also under the same genre as Newton Faulkner. He seems to be a very friendly and flexible young man who will be keen for us to film him whenever in need.
