copyright

Here is a link about the copyright in the UK.
I found I got a problem to use the music legally.

I have been tried to recreat the music, but when Barbara Santi came on Monday,

Ohh...New Problem !!!

I find out I am not allow to use the music I already found. I have to get the permission of the owner first. I am in a panic... I met Barbara Santi today, she cut 30% of my video away, because she said I don't really need them that much. Carry on talk about the COPYRIGHT!
This is a major. I didn't realise I will get in trouble of the background music. This was my fault. What I know about, I am only allow to spend £15 on the background music. Well, I think it will not be enough to pay for it (The song is called good bye policeman, click me ). So I am starting to do the research again for background music. I am focusing on the classical music, because most of the song writers dead 100years ago.
Right, I will solve it out.

The copyright issue is the most difficult part for my project I think. I have to use material very carefully,to make sure there isn't any trouble will follow by. The backgound music I've choose it shown perfectly of the emotion I actually want.

Interacting with Barbara Santi

Barbara Santi came in a couple of weeks ago to help me with my project and see how is it going. She also gave me some tips on where to find footage, what shots I could use to improve the look and feel of the film to enhance the story and some other things.
She is also coming in tomorrow to see the final project and any improvements I could make.
I haven't talked to her lots of times but I think I've communicated with her enough times in order to achieve what I would like.

Unfortunately I have found out that she couldn't make her appointment she had today so she is coming in on Monday instead. I'm hoping by this point I can show her the completely finished product and gain some very valuable feedback. Then hopefully she will like our product enough to show it at the Cornwall film festival and maybe other venues round Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. She might also like to use it for further promoting meetings or shows.

Where Am I

I have filmed my footage almost of it. I just need to film some streets and other shots of Graham with the ambulance service. but I am not really sure do I really need it.
In final cut I've started to layout the footage according to the story boards. I still have to add the rest of footage to do, and find out the background music(I have done a section of music in it though) and some minor effects and transitions have to add in.
I think I am about half way through making my product and also I have to evaluate this project, because Daniella she left...

A New Problem Comes

I was working with Daniella in The Tre Project as a team, but she left the course and college. So I am going to finish this project by myself.  Things became even harder, I hope I will be fine for it.
