So now we have our film and after much deliberation (we've been throwing songs at each other since the second day we started working on the project, much to both of our frustration), we have picked our song:
Medicine by Daughter. We like the the beat, the lyrics, the mood it sets, everything.
Then we had to obtain the rights to use it. After researching the record company that runs Daughter's music rights, Glassnote Records, we found the proper person to contact about gaining said rights and subsequently emailed a Mr. Marc Nicolas.

| Lisa's original email to Marc Nicolas, sent on March 16. |
Well, we contacted who we thought -- based off of the company's FAQ page -- was the right person. Our email somehow landed into Mr. Chad Brown's inbox, and the next day, he responded to our inquiry.

| The response Lisa received from Chad Brown on March 17. |
Fun fact: we got this email at 8:43 p.m. the night before we had to wake up at 4 a.m. to catch a flight to New York for a journalism convention, where we wouldn't exactly have a lot of time or computer access to work on this. Therefore, when we weren't sure how to answer some questions for the document and needed to contact our teacher for assistance, we were in a bit of a bind.

| The document we had to fill out. We weren't sure what to put for territory (U.S., U.K., or international?), duration of use (did we need it just until our project deadline, a few weeks after, maybe even a year?), or options (we just had no idea). |
While we received a response from our teacher the next day, our location hindered us from being able to complete the document until we got back on Sunday. So now we've done as much as we can and we're waiting for a response from Glassnote Records.
