Post Production - Sound

As my product is a music video, I had a soundtrack playing throughout the entirety of the video.  The song was my chosen song 'Video Games' by Lana Del Rey.  To ensure that I was able to use the song in my video, I composed an email to Lana's managers Ed and Ben.  It was very difficult to track these two down and I am unsure of their last names.  In the email two the men, I explained that I was an A- level student and wanted to use Lana's song in my final product.  The copy of the song which I used, was one I downloaded off YouTube.  This meant that it was in my files and that it was easily accessible.  I don't intend to use any other sounds in the video, apart from the sound of paparazzi's voices, however this is something which is already used in the song and therefore there will be no need for any additional sounds.
It was important that I chose the song before any serious planning of the music video.  This was so that I was able to apply the conventions of the genre to video, for example linking the lyrics to the video.
