A2 Copyright - Letter Task

In class we have looked at copyright, what it means and how it will have an impact on the music you choose to use on your music video.

You can use music from an established artist, or someone unsigned. Regardless, you still have to seek permission to use their work and reassure them of your reasons for using their track.

Remember to use Standard English and write with a formal tone. Also, remember there are conventions to letter writing such as;

• Your address on the top right-hand side
• The full date underneath your address
• The address of the person you are sending it to on the left-hand side.
• Opening formally with 'Dear...'
• Ending, as you would to a stranger, with 'Yours faithfully...'

Remember is also important to;

• Use capital letters, full stops and paragraphs.
• Write in full sentences.
• Spell check your work.

For your blog entry you should upload a copy of this letter, along with some information about why you are writing this letter and what you have learnt about copyright. Show your knowledge and suggest why the writing of the letter is an important part of your journey to creating your own music video.
