Possible Location for our Music Video

Today we visited Dean's diner in Braintree to take some photos and get an idea of the setting we ,at use in the video. We decided a diner would be a good place to look at as it has that 50's Rock and Roll feel that our song reminds us of. It is also a classic setting for a first date in romance, American films, and as our song is about a 'future husband' it fits nicely with the theme.

We did manage to take some photos of the diner to get a feel for the place and how we could film ad we believe it is the perfect place to film part of our video in. Although there are a lot of mirrors in the place which could cause a problem filming, we have found some angles that would be effective without being able to see the camera. The mirrors could also help us with the narrative for example our actress could be looking around the corner at her 'future husband'.

We got permission of the manager Mario to film in the diner as long as we do not get any customers in the background as they not want to be in it.

Copyright Permission

Our favourite song choice for making a music video out of the four is 'Dear Future Husband' by Meghan Trainor. We like the overall tone of the song, it is definitely in the pop genre but is not a hybrid genre. I believe the genre crosses with a 50's/swing/rock & roll genre which gives it a very upbeat feel that we love. This music video will have a lot of high energy performance, possibly with a 50's style theme.

We have followed Meghan on Twitter and decided to seek permission to use her song through this.

We also emailed her PR team asking for permission to use the song. However we have yet to get a reply from either media.

Possible Song Choice

On our Twitter account we were followed by a couple from America called 'Brytt & Kev' who are a Indie-Pop band. We thought we would take the opportunity and listen to their music. We really like their song 'Best Friends and Lovers' and may consider it as a song choice for our music video. As they follow us we direct messaged them asking permission and they granted us with it.

We like the song because it is clearly a pop song which is quite catchy, the only problem is that we can't immediately imagine a music video for it, whereas our other song choices we can imagine an idea for a video straight away.
