Record Company Permission


Dear Dirty Hit

We are students from Southgate School currently studying Media Studies at A level. We are currently in the process of preparing for our production coursework, which consists of planning and creating a music video.

We believe that 'Loving Someone' by The 1975 would be the perfect song for our music video and we are writing to you today to ask for your permission for its use.

The narrative based video follows three young, rebellious teenagers who decide to break into a church. Each of their stories are displayed to the audience through a series of flashbacks, which explain why they are deciding to rebel. The end of the video sees each of their issues resolved as they begin to realise how futile their actions are. For example, one teenager turns to thieving to fulfil his addiction to alcohol and decides, by the end of the video, to return the stolen alcohol to the shop after his experience in the church.

Our work will be assessed by OCR examining board and exhibited at the Southgate School Media Oscars.

Please respond to this email if you are happy for us to use your soundtrack in our music video.

If you have an queries/worries please contact Andrew on: +44 7961 071145.


Many thanks,

Andrew Michael, Sophia Michael and Anna Peleties

Hello Andrew

If this video is purely towards your examination results, and not for viewing by the general public, then no licence is required.

Good luck, and kind regards
