2. What is a
record label
and what do
they do?
Companies that market recorded music as well as videos.
Marketing is very important when it come to record label
due to advertising which is how they make their money.
Many record labels offer deals to highly successful
musicians.There are 2 different types of record labels;
major labels and independent labels. Major labels are
powerful and use their power to control the music
industry on the other hand independent labels let the
artist control what happens with their music.
3. Will your
artist be
signed to a
major or
independen
t record
label
My artist will be signed to an independent music video as
she was well known for controlling her settings and what
happens in her videos therefore she would fit in better
being signed to an independent record label than a major
record label. Furthermore another reason as to why my
artist will be signed to an independent record label is
because they are not used to being told what to do as my
artist is the kind that does whatever she wants as a sign or
female empowerment.
4. What is
copyright
and how are
record
labels
responsible
for this
Copyright is a legal right.This protects the artists music
once its been released into social media. Record labels are
responsible for copyright to protect the artists music as
they have signed to their record label.
5. How are you
going to use
what you
have learnt
about record
labels and
copyright in
your
production
• I am going to use copyright as a way of protecting my
artists music in order for them to keep producing more
music knowing it will not be stolen from them. I have
learnt the use of record labels and the differences
between independent record labels and major record
labels and what they do to protect the artist they have
signed.
