Copyright protects written, theatrical, musical and artistic works as well as film, book layouts, sound recordings, and broadcasts. Copyright is an automatic right, which means you don't have to apply for it.
Copyright is very important to consider when creating these media products, especially for us as we are taking a famous artists music and changing it, therefore in theory you should ask permission or inform the artist of what exactly you are doing first. Copyright works are protected across most mediums - so if they're protected in one, they're probably protected in others. It may then be copyright infringement if you create a painting from someone else's works without their permission.
We tried emailing our artist Ellie Goulding first, however we were unable to find contact details for this so we contacted her via her facebook page. We told her exactly what we intended to do and how we were using her song throughout our project. We told her what exact song we were using and what our purpose was for using her song.
