Copyright Permission for Use of Track

As we are using a track that is currently owned by a record company, we are required to ask the respective company whether it is acceptable for us to use their track alongside our music video. The following is the letter that we constructed and sent to the record company:

To whomever it may concern,

We are a group of A Level Students working on an A Level project for a qualification in Media Studies. We are writing to request permission to use the following track as part of this project:

Feeling Good by Muse.

With your permission the track would be used as the accompaniment to a short form video that is made purely for assessment purposes and will have no commercial usage. The video will be viewed only by members of the school community and the assessor of the examination board.

The artist and the copyright holder will of course be fully recognised in the pre-production and evaluation material that accompanies the project. We can also include a full copyright notice if required both in the planning material and on the video itself.

Yours sincerely,
Isabel Boddy, William Edgley, Abigail Douetil and Elizabeth Ward-Thomas.
Hurtwood House School.
