Over the summer I have tried to obtain the copyright clearance for a song / selection of songs from a British artist/group by writing letters for the permission for more than one song to give me (my group) a selection.
I chose Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed and Coldplay - Fix You as the pop/indie/rock genre are not too expensive to replicate and will have a resonable budget to provide props and costumes for. Over the summer I have also watched a number of videos of different genres to get a feel for the codes and conventions for each genre to widen my knowledge of music videos.
Here are samples from my two letters:
Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed
Dear A&R Manager,
(Polydor Record Label)
Request for Copyright Permission to use part or whole of: Starry Eyed by Ellie Goulding
I am a student of A Level Media Studies and for my Advanced Portfolio I will be working in a group to produce a promotional package for the release of a new album track. I would like to request permission to use the above track for this project.
The finished project will not be made available publically and will be used solely for coursework purposes. The holder of the original copyright will be fully acknowledged in the finished project.
If you do not hold the rights for this song I should be grateful if you could forward this request to the appropriate person, or return it to me with the contact details in order that I might approach the copyright holder directly.
Yours faithfully
Tobi Quadri
