Letter to XL

Below is the letter we sent to XL Recordings. Unfortunately we did not get a response from XL after sending two e-mails and this letter.  

 
Dear XL Recordings,

We are A2 media studies students from West Hatch High School in Chigwell, and we are writing to you, to inform you of our choice to use Dizzee Rascals record, ‘Bonkers’, and to also ask your permission to use it, to create a music video for our A level coursework.

For our piece we will be creating and developing ideas, filming them and finally editing it to produce our final product. After many brainstorms and much discussion, we settled on ‘Bonkers’ as the mixture of both rap and the electro background music allows us to experiment with more interesting camera shots, angles and narrative as well as editing techniques that will help us to create a more exciting music video for our audience.
If you would like to have a look at the progress we have made so far and wish to see what we plan to include, please take a look at our blog at ‘thestarlightproductions.blogspot.com’. This includes updates as they happen and is in chronological order to allow for easy reading of our development as it unfolds. 

So we would like to take this opportunity to ask your permission to use this record, if possible, and if there would be any restrictions you would like to put on the contents of our video, then please let us know. 


Many thanks,
Starlight Productions
