Initial Ideas

After doing some research into songs that I can use for my music video, I have came across a song from The Saturdays called ‘Lose Control’. My aim was to find an up beat song with a good beat to dance to and lyrics that are catchy in order to ‘sing along to’.

My aim is to produce a music video aimed more towards females than males. In order to start to piece together and visualize my music video, I am going to look over the lyrics of the song to see what scenes I could create in order to portray what the lyrics are saying.

First, I need to email The Saturdays Management in order to seek approval to use their song 'Lose Control' within my video.

Below is the text I shall include in the email:


To whom this may concern,

I am currently a student studying Media Studies at Hartlepool Sixth Form College. For my coursework in order to achieve my A level within media Studies I have been set the task of creating a music video. I have chosen a song by The Saturdays called 'Lose Control'. I was hoping that you would grant me the permission to use your song. This would very greatly appreciated. I have chosen this song because I enjoy listening to it, believe it has a fun vibe and I would be able to produce a successful music video in sync to it. In order to produce the video I will be carrying out all my own filming, using my own props and editing the video on final cut, a software we use within my college.

I hope to hear back from you soon,

Thankyou
