Alex James is an AS Level media student who is writing to request permission to use the song "Wake Me Up" by Wham! in a two-minute short film he is creating for his coursework. He explains that the song will be used at intervals to help create a happy and upbeat atmosphere, as the character will be dancing to it. The short film is not being created for any profit gain, but solely for his coursework assignment to introduce a film of his own design. He chose this song because it fits with the feeling he is trying to convey for the upbeat sections of the short film.
