Permission from copywrite to use Floursecent Adolescent

To Domino Records,

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: Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys.

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, Amy, Lainy and Chloe
Hurtwood House School

Thanks for the email Lainy, Amy and Chloe,

In principal I have no problem with this usage. However, could you please advise me the slant/direction of this project.

Many thanks, Geoff Barradale (co manager of Arctic Monkeys)

Geoff,

Thank you very much for the positive consideration of our request. The video will form part of a portfolio of work put together as part of a unit focusing on marketing in the music industry. Our concept for the video is to chart the rise of an indie band through the changes in their environment. The video will be performance-based, but the set will change over the course of the video from teenage bedroom to recording studio. We wanted to use a track by the Arctic Monkeys because we felt their music and their story perfectly encapsulate the dreams of thousands of bedroom musicians. We intend to use actors from our school as the band members who will lip-sing the track, although if Alex and the boys would like to come and star in the video themselves, we would be delighted to welcome them for the day! The video project and accompanying portfolio will be assessed by our teacher and the exam board, but we would be delighted to send you a copy when we have finished. I hope this gives you the information you need. We can provide any further information or guarantees should you require them.

Best wishes, Lainy, Amy and Chloe

After we received this email, we spoke Geoff to reassure him that we would not be portraying the band negatively. He simply wanted to talk more about the concept of the video and gave us information about the bands background which gave us further material to work with.
