Our group first contacted the artist through email asking for permission to use the song 'Candles' in our promotional music video. The screen shot below shows this:
After receiving no response from the email sent we decided that it would be better to try and contact her through Facebook which is a platform she often uses to promote her new music. Below is the message sent asking if we could use her song 'Candles':
After not receiving any response from this message also, we have decided to continue to use her music anyway. After these messages were sent we decided that we liked her song 'Gem' more than the song 'Candles' because it had lyrics which we could interpret different meanings for and we also loved the style of her music and had already created some interesting possible narratives and ideas which matched the lyrics. We decided it was not necessary to try to contact the artist again after the song change because it seemed unlikely that the artist would respond to further messages. Rather than having the artist send us the MP3 for the song as there was no communication, I purchased it on iTunes ready to use it later for our music video.
