Earlier music idea

Our beginning plan was to use a song by an alternative band, from America called 'Walk the Moon'. But as they were a signed artist, we decided it would be difficult to get into contact with them and we didn't want to break any laws by using their song 'Anna Sun' for copywrite reasons. Below is the song and a few images of our attempt at trying to get permission. We asked the record company personally, by emailing them and we also used a social networking website, 'Twitter' to also try and get into contact with the band members themselves.

Here is the letter a fellow member of the group sent to the record label.

Dear Michael and Lindsay

I am contacting you on behalf of myself and three fellow students to ask your permission for us to use the song Anna Sun by Walk The Moon. This will contribute to part of our A level media studies and will enable us to create a music video. We are currently studying at Suffolk One Sixth Form College in Ipswich, Suffolk England.

We very much hope that you will give us your permission and please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely

Victoria Thurlow
