AICE Media Studies

Here you go: the final product! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!

 There is NO way what just happened happened. It is a few days before our project is due and we were emailed back by the licensing department of a song we wanted to use. After emailing a lot of producers, licensing departments, even artists themselves, we were finally contacted by one. We were so excited when we received this news.

We took what he said into account.  Sammie’s dad said that instead of just having the paper displaying the titles, we should insert text that said the same thing in case it was difficult for viewers to read.
