Split-Screen choice

When creating our split screen to show the similarities between the two characters, we had two ways of creating it:



1. Keep the boy to one side of the split screen, and the girl to the other
- Ordered
- Easy to understand
- Shows they are two separate narratives

  2. Change which side of the split screen each character
- Shows that their stories are both inextricably linked
- Reflects their chaotic lives

Editing Update 2- Split Screen Creation

Our music video's narrative is about two people overcoming problems to develop in their chosen area to eventually succeed. The boy wins his race after weeks of training, and the girl is given a record deal after busking for ages. Here is how we created the split screen which our music video opens with, to show how the story's are linked by their aim to succeed.

Editing Update- 1- Importing and ordering footage, deleting diegetic sound, and importing song

The Script Factfile



Permission Request

Dear Sir/ Madam, As part of the coursework for my A-level Media Studies course, I have to create a music video of a song of my choice. After thorough research and planning, I have decided that I would like to do The Script's 'Broken Arrow' from the album #3. I am just writing to ask for permission to use this song in my A-Level coursework, as it is owned by your record label Columbia Records. This will be non profit and is will be put onto my blog to show the examiner. This is a necessary part of OCR'S coursework specification. If this is not the correct department then please direct me to the right people for my request. 
Thankyou in advance, 
Yours faithfully, Oliver Watson
