2. OBTAINING THE RIGHTS TO USE THE SONG PT.2
To enable us to use the song we have chosen, we had to search for
the company that owns the rights to the song (Wixen
Music) and ask for their permission.
Here is a copy of the e-mail thread between Naomi Asher (Wixen
Music) and Roxi following the first e-mail Roxi sent on behalf of
the group.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am e-mailing you seeking permission to use the song 'Undone - The
Sweater Song' by Weezer in my A Level media studies coursework. My group
and I are creating a music video, and, as massive fans of Weezer, it would be
excellent if we were able to use this song. We are not intending to use this
song for any other purpose other than that already stated, and is for no
commercial or financial gain. It is purely for the use of our coursework and
any posting of the video will be for evaluation purposes only. We will clearly
state that this is an amateur production and identify yourselves as the
license holders for the song.
We appreciate that you get many requests of this kind and are very grateful
for your help and support.
Yours,
Roxannah Linklater

Hi Naomi,
Thanks so much for your reply. In brief, our aim is to film a music video for
an existing song. We thought that this song was highly appropriate as we've
been inspired by many other videos of the band, and would like to create
a video with a light hearted tone. This project is worth 40% of our final A
Level grade, and we will not be using this song for any other purpose
other than to aid our project.
Thank you,
Roxannah Linklater
