Atlantic Records

As we are using Ed Sheeran's song 'Give Me Love' we have to ask Ed's record company for permission to use the song as our coursework otherwise it would be copy right. As Ed Sheeran's record company is Atlantic Records we emailed them to explain what we are doing as part of our A2 media coursework and to ask for their permission to use the song. Below is a screen shot of the email that we sent to them. 

The email me and Kate sent to Atlantic Records.

Poster Design



Initial Poster Design


Initial Poster Design

After creating our script we started to come up with initial ideas for our poster design for Ed Sheeran's song 'Give Me Love'. Above is a sketch of what our poster is roughly  going to look like. We are going to take a picture of Luke who is playing Ed in our music video and put it in the center of the poster. We are also going to have 'Give me love' written loads of times in small text on the top half of Luke and one in big text that stands out amongst the rest. Then below where it says 'Luke Barnett' we will have 'Ed Sheeran' and then below that the date of when the song will be realest. 

Original Ed Sheeran Poster




Ed Sheeran's Give Me Love
Original Poster

In general in Ed Sheeran doesn't seem to be featured on his own posters. They typically have objects on them for example his poster for 'Lego House' it has lego bricks on it in a shape of foundations to a house portraying the name of the song. The main picture of the 'love hearts' in in the center of the poster which is the same as our poster design but the name of the song is in the bottom right hand corner of the poster and Ed Sheeran's name in on the top left hand corner. The poster is quite spread out and simple. It is also in black and white but one of the love hearts that has the song name 'give me love' is orange which makes the song stand out, this makes it the poster effective as it is clear to the audience of what the song is called. 

Script

In our music video our characters Luke and Dani have an argument. Me and Kate created a short script for Luke and Dani to learn. Even though the audience will not be able to hear the argument and will only be able see them arguing we thought it would be useful to have a script. The script is a typical argument that a teenage couple would have. We didn't create a script for our other two characters (Sam and Megan) as we didn't think we need a script we will just direct them and tell them what they need to do/say whilst filming.

Script

Dani: I’ve seen your texts


Luke: What texts?!

Dani: The texts from her.

Luke: I don't know what you're talking about?


Dani: My friend saw you two and told me everything.

Luke: It was nothing, you're over reacting.


Dani: I can't do this anymore... (Dani turns around and starts to walks away, Luke grabs her arm and tries to stop her)

Luke: Don't go!

Dani: let go of me. (Dani pushes Luke off her and walks away)

Filming Schedule

This is our Filming schedule that we created which will help us know what day and what time we will be filming each shots in our music video. It also tells us what actors we will need, what equipment we will need and where we will be filming it. This is only a rough guide as things are bound to change and be altered, according to what days we are all free and to film and what days the drama studio will be available.
