For Music Video production, permission needs to be sought from the artist for the use of the audio track. For the purposes of this brief, The Brocas are a local band who will provide their permission for material to be used – typically, this is often the best option for students at A2 who often know, or have friends who are in local bands. Other approaches could be to use unsigned bands whose material is on YouTube or collaborate with music or drama departments in school/college by way of creating your own music track or. Filming drama students appearing in the music video (see below exemplar G325 Main Task using a Chris Brown song) could also be an option.
