Before beginning to plan our music video to The Scientist by Coldplay, we first had to request permission for the use of this song; this permission was required from EMI record label, as they own the rights for Coldplay. Below is a copy of the email which we sent:
“Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Using Coldplay – The Scientist for our A2 Media coursework music video
Charlotte Thistle, Joshua Timms, Mica Joseph and Emma Hart (4 Media student from Burnham Grammar School, Buckinghamshire) are required to produce a music video to a song of our choice. We decided that ‘The Scientist’ would be the perfect song choice for the storyline ideas that we had, as a group. After research, we understand that EMI own the rights to Coldplay’s songs, and therefore we are writing to you to request permission to use this song for the creation of our music video. The final music video production will be posted on our blog, along with Vimeo, and will be viewed by many people. There will be no copyright infringements, and no breeches of laws. There will also be no foul language or acts that are inappropriate displayed within this music video.
If there is any reason why it is not possible for us to use ‘The Scientist’ by Coldplay as a song for our music video, please reply to charlottethistle@btinternet.com, and we will find another song to use. Upon not receiving a reply, this song will be used. Thank you very much for your co-operation in this matter. It is appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
CJME Productions”
