The track that my group have decided to
use for our music video is 'Trip Switch' by 'Nothing but Thieves'. I
have embed the song below.
I have done some background research
into the song, including the legal setup of the label and the
copyright holders. Firstly, the song is included on their
self-titled, 16 song, album 'Nothing But Thieves', which was released
on the 16th Ocotber 2015, however the single itself was
released earlier, on the 30th June 2015. In addition the
band, who originated in Southend-on-Sea, have recently signed to RCA
Victor in 2014. RCA Vistor is a sub-division of RCA Records; an
American flagship recording label that are owned by the conglomerate
Sony Music Entertainment. Furthermore, their album is also
copyrighted to Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited.
I brought this song to the group during
one of our production meetings for which we had organised to all
presented our different track ideas. There were many reason for why I
initially chose this song and it was predominately based around the
distinct yet replicable vocals, the potential for strong artist
identity and the dynamic breakdowns and builds in the song that would
keep the video interesting. Furthermore, after sharing the song with
my group, we have collectively found many more benefits of the song
and it immediately catapulted our creativity.
As a group we have made this list of
all the advantages and disadvantages that we think concern our usage
of the song.
After discovering that the song was
owned by Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited, we contacted the
relevant body, through email, and asked for their permission to use
the song for a non-profit school-based A2 media project. Below I have
embedded a photo of our email to them.
Unfortunately we have not received a
reply to date and as a result we decided it would be appropriate to
continue with our project on the condition that they do not reply
saying no.
