OH NO!

 This is not what we were expecting. At the time I may have had too much confidence. I also put a lot of hope in to into. I really thought we would be able to use the song. I was really surprised when we got the email back. I was super excited to read it and start putting the music over the few clips we have. Sadly, we did not get the rights to use the song we wanted to. I started to envision the rest of the short film with the song. Even where certain parts of the music would go. Also wondering if we could just do an instrumental for some parts. However, we now have to change our original idea when it comes to the music. When we got the email back it said we need to pay a fee for a consideration to use the music. To me it sounds a little like a scam. They suggested around $500 that we must pay to put it in our project. Although I personally feel as if it's not fair there isn't anything I can do about this. We don't have the money to just be spending for one project. It also was not suggesting direct approval. In which case we will be trying our backup song, today we are going to send out another email but this time to the people owning the song 'My Favorite', by Billie, which I suggested. Hopefully this one works out and we can use that song instead. Then we can really start putting stuff together and editing.
