Permission Letter

COPYRIGHT PERMISSION LETTER

In order to get copy right permission to use the sing in which I have chosen to create a video for, I has to get in contact with the artists record label. The song in which my group and I choose is 'Nobody's Business' by Rihanna Featuring Chris Brown and due to Rihanna being signed to Def Jam Recordings, who's parent company is Universal Music Group; meaning I had to get in contact with Universals Publishing department, which published all the songs.

Here it shows that I had to enter the song in which I was going to be using and also enter the company, which in this case is my school, and also the companies address so that they can possibly send an letter.

In this picture it shows me writing a letter and entering my details to Universal saying I would like their permission to create a video for my A2 media class project.

Dear Copyright Holder,

I am A-Level students and I am  writing to request your permission to use one of the latest tracks by Rihanna which features Chris Brown.  The track we wish to use is Nobody's Business.

With your permission, this task would be used in my current A-Level Media Studies project, which involves creating a music video to a popular music track, as well as producing an album and a magazine advert for the artist.

If you give me your permission, this track would ONLY be used in an educational context and be viewed by the media class I'm in, our teacher and the OCR exam board moderator.  It would not be released to a large audience.

The artist and your company would of course be fully recognised throughout pre-production and the final video itself.  A copyright notice with wording supplied by you can be included in the records of the project.  If this is required, please send full details.

I really look forward to hearing from you,

Regards,

Dwayne Grossett
