After choosing a song to use for our groups music video (The 1975 - Settle down), we emailed the bands record label to gain permission to use their song.

Planning: Chosen song

The song that me and Charlotte have chosen to use for our music video is Settle down by The 1975. We both feel that we can use this song to our advantage as it is something different and we can work with it to produce a story within our video. 

"Settle Down" Lyrics

A soft sound
To the way that she wears her hair down
Covering up her face.
And oh what a let down,
And I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place.
But you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you.
But you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two.
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
A small town
Dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face.
Do you get what I mean now?
I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound
And hair all over the place.
And you're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking 'round you.
And you're cold and I burn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two.
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
A soft sound
And to the way that she wears her hair down
Covering up her face.
And oh what a let down,
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place.
But you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you.
And you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two.
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
For crying out loud!

Research into institutions

Music video channels 

  

• MTV
• Scuzz
• Kiss
• Vh1
• 4Music
• Magic
• JBTV
• Kerrang!
• VIVA
• fuse

From researching into music videos I found that these were the ones that came up most frequently, most of which I have heard of myself or have watched on the TV. However some channels such as Scuzz, JBTV, fuse and Vh1, I haven't heard of before; this could be because they don't show the music genres I listen to or have an interest in, it could also be because I am of a different age to what these channels target.

I had a look on some of the websites for these channels to look for the different advertisement and links that they have. I found that on the '4Music' website, it presents various factors that isn't just the advertisement of the music channel itself. Firstly from the colours, fonts and images used there is a clear target audience they are aiming for which is between 14-20. The websites includes videos, news, charts, shows, photos, apps, and competitions, as well as having links to other social networks.

The 4Music website also advertises other music channels by presenting links to stream the channels online. 

From this I can see a clear target audience and the website is made to be interesting, eye catching and informal with access to latest celebrity gossip and news, which I know is something that young people have a big interest in.
