Dear Copyright Holder,

We are A-Level students and we are writing to request your permission to use one your tracks from Kesha's Album Warrior. The track we wish to use is Out Alive.

With your permission, this task would be used in our current A-Level Media Studies project, which involves creating a music video to a popular music video to popular music track of our choice.

If we received your permission, this track would ONLY be used in an educational context and be viewed by our music class, our teacher and the Rockschool exam board moderator. It would not be released to a large audience.

The artist and your company would of course be fully recognised throughout the 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.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Categories of music videos

Performance based videos

Performance based videos are often showing the band or artist of the song performing their song in the music video. Rock music videos often do this, for example: Green day’s American Idiot. The videos are normally showing the artists, what they are wearing, and what they are singing. Performance based videos would be boring if it was just showing a performance, the artists would normally be doing something strange on stage, or it would cut to the crowd watching the artists at some point. Another example of this would be “smells like team spirit” by Nirvana. The singer would be shown singing with a guitar in his hands at one point, and it would cut to something like people headbanging.

Concept based videos

Concept based music videos are often showing something completely random, and don’t follow any story line. For example, Pendulum’s music video for Slam. There is a fairly large man in a suit, who is walking on a street, when all of a sudden; he starts to remove his shirt and tie, and starts dancing on the street.

Narrative based videos

Narrative based music videos follow a story line, and the story line follows the video throughout the entire song. An example of a narrative based music video would be Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” which shows an animated band of aliens doing a gig where the power goes out because of someone messing with it, which then follows with people coming onto the stage and into the crowd, hunting the aliens and capturing them. The song goes into a whole album with a storyline.
