Production Log - Permission to Use Song

As I am using the song 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake to produce my music video, I will need to request permission to use it. I do not own this content, therefore I do not have the right to use it unless I have permission from the company who own the song.

For this reason, I will need to look into who I should contact in order to gain such permission. This is most likely going to be an individual working for the RCA Records label that Justin Timberlake is signed with.

Production Log - Second Shoot with Performer

Yesterday, I shot with my performer, Nick DeCruz, again, in the black box studio. I experimented with lighting, taking pictures for my digipak and shooting new video for my music video. This time, I had a clearer idea of exactly what I wanted the shots to look like, as I already had a reference (the previous shoot) from which I could work out what looked good the first time, making sure to include these elements the second time around.
For example, Nick blew a kiss to the camera in the first shoot, which was incredibly effective, therefore we did several takes of this the second time so that I could choose the best one for my music video.

Overall, I felt this shoot was productive, and I am pleased with the results.

Below are a couple of pictures, taken during the shoot, which show the set up I used.
