Final song choice

As a group we have decided to use the acoustic cover of 'I Need Your Love' by Ellie Goulding. We feel that by using an acoustic version of the song, we will be able to create a better narrative. We originally decided to choose 'I Need Your Love' by Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding, but over the past week an acoustic version has been uploaded onto Ellie Goulding's SoundCloud which we feel will be much easier to use.

Here is the song:

On 24th June 2013, we rung Columbia Records asking for the rights to use the song. They acknowledged that it will be used for educational purposes only and gave us an email address to email with our school details, explaining that they will send out a letter confirming that this will be Ok.

This is the email we sent:


To (name here)


I'm Caroline Moss from (school name) located in the (United Kingdom). My group and I are currently beginning out A2 Media Coursework, which involves making a music video. Part of the task is to choose a song that we need to use for the duration of the year. Throughout our research and planning we have searched through a variety of songs, but ultimately we preferred 'I Need Your Love' as our song choice, since we feel that this song has meaningful lyrics and the ideology is something which we could relate to whilst we are creating the video.


We called Columbia Records and spoke to (an employee)  who told us to email you in order to acquire the acoustic version of the song 'I Need Your Love' and to give our details of our school and teacher in charge of the coursework.

Our details for (school name) are as follows:

(this

In order to contact our school call(number) and ask for (our teacher) who is in charge of our media class, or email (our teacher) from (teachers email)

We would like to assure you that this will not be a parody version, but simply a version for educational purposes only. This will appear on both YouTube and Blogger as the examiner will need a format of looking at the music video. 

It would be an honour to have permission to use the song and we hope to hear from you soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Caroline Moss
