In order to legally complete our music video and then publish this on Youtube, we have to go through the process of licensing the song. This is a fairly tedious process but it has to be done. George Ezra is signed to Sony Music, so I had to go through their website to achieve this. It involved me filling out various forms on the website alerting them of why we wish to use the song. I had to explain that we are A level students and need the song as part of a filmed project for a qualification in Media Studies A level. We had to stress that the video would be used for purely assessment purposes and will have no commercial usage. We also included the fact that the copyright holder will of course be fully recognised in the pre-production and evaluation material that accompanies the project. Finally, I was given a message that granted me licence to the song. They said they were likely to contact me in the following days to discuss any questions they may have regarding the songs usage.
