Permission for Copyright Material.

Dear If These Trees Could Talk (Booking/Management),

I am Tom Mallinson and I am currently studying A level Media, amongst other subjects, at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Sixth Form in Rossendale, Lancashire. At present, my group and I have been tasked with creating a trailer that we soon decided should be a post-apocalyptic thriller. During the storyboarding process we all agreed that the use of the song "Malabar Front" would be the optimum accompaniment to the trailer as it will create the ideal melancholic ambience we are seeking at the beginning of the song whilst also embodying the grit and action, that we plan to implement into quickly paced montages in the trailer, with the songs stirring guitar and drum pieces. This will also exhibit the degree of planning we have put into this coursework and prove we aren’t just throwing in just any song into the mix. This is where we need you.

The mark scheme highlights that no copyrighted music is allowed in the production, other than music that has been permitted by the publishers and has been shown to do so. So ultimately, in accordance with the mark scheme rules, this email is just myself, and my group, formally enquiring over permission to use the aforementioned song during the middle and end sequence in our A2 level coursework trailer. Of course, we will mention the songs contribution to our final piece with full regards to copyright owners and publishers. In the event that your company does not govern the rights of usage for this said song then any help in navigating us in the right direction would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time to read this e-mail.

Yours faithfully,

Kieran Brooks, Tom Mallinson and Max Lake

We also contacted the publisher rights for The Ink Spots classic ''I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire'', EMI Publishing. After a conversation with the Andre Carroll, the music licensing assistant of the company, we were informed that a fee of £200 would be attached if we exhibited our work on any public area, such as Vimeo. This of course didn't meet our needs as we have to publish our work onto Vimeo upon completion so regrettably we had to abandon the idea to use mellow 40's blues to both accentuate the melancholy of events in the film whilst also contrasting from the action.
