Copyright Letter

To make sure that there was no copyright problems during the creating of our music video, we decided that we should try and get permission. We did some research to find out who we should email concerning this type of thing, and found out it was "Warner Music Group." So we looked on their website and found who we have to email and then wrote the following email to them:

Dear Warner Music Group

I am a Year 13 student at Wilmington Grammar School for Girls in England. I am writing to request your permission to use one track from Paramore’s album ‘Brand New Eyes’, called ‘Ignorance’. With your permission, along with the three other members of my group, I would like to use this track for my Year 13 Media Studies Coursework, which involves creating a music video with a popular and well-known song.

We will also be producing a digi-pack and magazine advertisement which will include the name of the song. If we receive your permission, this track will be used for educational purposes only and will only be viewed by my media class, teachers and the OCR exam board. However, to upload the music video to our coursework blogs we will require uploading the video to YouTube for a short period of time until the exam board has viewed it.

The artist and the company will be fully recognised throughout the pre-production and the music video and a copyright notice supplied by you can be included in the records of the project. If this is required please send full details.

Thank you for your time, we look forward to hearing from you soon,

Sarah Biswell

It has been a while since we sent this email, however, Warner have not emailed us back yet, so we shall continue on with the song we are using, and see if they email back in the near future.
