Proposal Letter
For this task I was asked to write up a letter to ask permission to use the song we want in our video. To do this I wrote to the recording company who Little Comets are signed to; explaining who we are, why we want to use the song, and a small concept brief of our video.
Dear Dirty Hit,
My name is Harry Devonport and I am writing from Glenthorne High School. For my Media Studies A2 coursework me and several other group members have been tasked with creating our own conventional music video, and I would like to request the use of one of your band's song, Little Comets - Dancing Song from the album, In Search of Elusive Little Comets. We chose this song as it fit all of the criteria of our brief; English artists, no music video, decent length, and had multiple band members. It also fit into our own personal expectations of our music video; Indie rock genre, upbeat tone, and ambiguous lyrics. We decided on this personal criteria as it gave us a large amount of room to be creative, interpreting the lyrics' meanings, whilst also fitting with our own music tastes.
For our own video we have decided on creating an amplification video, in which we will try and create a message and meaning for the audience over primarily trying to sell the band. We will achieve this by cutting between a girl walking through an urban area and her dancing on an open landscape. This links closely to the lyrics and tone of the song, whilst also being a creative idea giving us room to try new and advanced editing and cinematography techniques.
I hope that you agree with our request as it would help us in achieving the highest possible grade in our work, and I am looking forward to a response.
