Dear Copyright Holder
I am an A level student and I am writing to request your permission to use the track ‘the breaks’ by Kurtis Blow.
The track I wish to use is "The Breaks". With your permission this track would be used in my current A-Level Media Project, acting as a soundtrack, this involves creating a Film Trailer, as well as producing a poster for the film and a film magazine cover.
If I received your permission this track would be viewed by my peers, teachers and the OCR exam board, it would also be uploaded to a public video website in order for it to be embedded into my personal blog for research and planning.
The Artist and your Company would be fully recognised throughout pre-production and the final trailer itself. A copyright notice, with wording supplied by you can be included in the records of the project. If this is required, please send full details.
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Waine.
After taking shots outside, we then used final cut pro on the Apple Macs to have a try ay editing our footage, there was also parts of the film Gladiator available for us to use as well, we tried editing our footage and then we had a go at creating a trailer video with the footage from Gladiator the movie.
This is a front cover that was used by Empire magazine, they are a well known company within the industry and this means that they would be a good model to use when learning what I need to include when i'm creating my film magazine front cover.
Their is a masthead used for the companies name, this allows the audience/consumers to easily identify the magazine and therefore this will help increase sales and followers for the product.
The main image is of the actor Daniel Craig, this is because the magazine offers an in depth look into the 'new bond film' a topic that will have been popular at the time that the magazine was published. Offering the audience stories and interviews that another magazine does not means that the company will then have a unique selling point and an increase in demand potentially.
When I am creating my film front cover I am going to ensure that i try and include a story or interview that would be unique for the audience and offer them something that is worth purchasing the magazine for, a technique which is used a lot within the industry.
Smaller headings are posistioned on the side of the page and are there to tell the audience what is included within the magazine, using this technique will allow the consumers to identify whether or not the magazine appeals to them.
