R+P Post 17: My Chosen Track

The track we have decided on is 'Cry Me A River' by Justin Timberlake. It was written by Justin Timberlake, Timothy Mosely and Scott Storch and produced by Timbaland (as well as having his vocals featured). It was released on 25th November 2002 by Jive Record Label. It is said to have been inspired by Justin's break up with Britney Spears.

We decided on this song because we really liked it and we were coming up with a lot of ideas for both the possible performance and narrative sides. Additionally we thought that the lyrics meant that we could be creative with our shots and try some more conceptual artistic shots. 

Below is a table of Pros and Cons for the track.

In order to use the song we have to think about its copyright. To request permission we emailed Sony Music Entertainment - the parent company of Jive Records (which has since been taken over by RCA Records in 2009). Below is a copy of the email that Sian sent to them on behalf of our group. We have not yet heard a reply and so are presuming that it is ok to use for our project.
