Copyright Permission Letter

After deciding on the song that we wanted to use for our pop video - "Let's Get Outta Here" by Madina Lake, we needed to get the copyright holders permission to use the song in our production. To do this, we found the copyright holders offices address, and wrote them a letter to ask for permission to use their song.

Below follows the letter that we sent:

Dear Sir or Madam

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

‘Let’s Get Outta Here’ by Madina Lake

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


Alexander Kohnert
