We also thought that to thank for him letting us use his song and also giving us the song free of charge we would have a special thank you, which we did add at the end of the video. The genre of music we wanted to go for was Acoustic/indie music because we had initial ideas before we partnered up, so it was a specific genre that matched with our ideas. All that was left was for us to find an artist that connoted this in their music. We did originally have an artist called Erick Baker and this song 'Comfort You' we thought would go perfect with our ideas we had in mind. However, it did not work due to it being quite hard to recieve permission back over the six weeks we gave him to reply. Therefore, as an alternative we found Carl Hauck and we were more happier having the permission and support back from the artist.
Carl Hauck has throughout his songs a sense of belief and escape which is what my partner and I thought would go well with ideas we came up with. We wanted to clearly dennote this in the video through the song about the artist being able to escape through his music. From listening to the song we started branching our ideas to what would suit the artist from our prespective and other artists that were similar. We used a pinterest board to carry this out and became useful in terms of explaining to our audience what they were going to see in our video.
