Permission Letters

In order to play our music tracks we needed to send an email to Sony records to be given their permission to use their music in our documentary. We sent the following email to them:

To: humanresources@sonymusic.com
From: Sasha Jones

Dear Sony Music Records,
We would like to use the following songs in a documentary we are producing for our A Level coursework:

Paolo Nutini- New Shoes
Footloose soundtrack
Elvis Presley blue suede shoes

We will not allow any other resources to use your music tracks in any way, we will not edit them in any way and will only use them in our documentary.

We would really appreciate it if you would give us permission to use your songs

Yours Sincerely

Sasha Jones, Natalie Allcock, Whitney Griffiths


As some of our participants were under sixteen we asked their parents/guardians if they would give permission. This is a blank copy of the letter we produced for both theirs and our records:

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

As part of my A-Level Media coursework I am producing 5 minutes of a documentary. For all under 16’s I need permission on behalf of them from their parent or guardian.

I would really appreciate it if you could fill in the slip below to allow me to feature them in the documentary.

The documentary will not be broadcasted and will be kept confidential.

Yours Sincerely

Sasha Jones, Natalie Allcock and Whitney Griffiths
