The students are requesting permission to use elements of the song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Emily Browning in a soap opera trailer they are creating for their A Level Media Studies coursework. They explain that using the song in a slower style would add irony and create symbolic relationships between the lyrics and the on-screen action. They assure that only a portion of the song under 1 minute 30 seconds would be used after editing in Adobe Premiere. The trailer would be published on an educational blog for their examining board to assess.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are writing to you as A Level Media Studies Students from St Pauls Catholic College in regards to
the permission to use some elements of music and lyrics from the song ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of
This) (Sucker Punch: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Emily Browning
As part of our A Level Media Studies coursework, we are required to create and produce a Soap
Opera Trailer. We believe that the song itself tells a story, as it’s usually an upbeat song, however
with it being in a slower style it adds irony to the piece. As well as creating symbiotic relationships
between the lyrics and action taking place on screen. The whole song will not be used, as our trailer
can only be 45 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. My group and I shall be editing the song with the
software:Adobe Premiere CS6. The trailer will be placed on Wordpress an educational blog, which is
used so that the examining board can assess our work interactively.
If there are any problems or further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact our Head of Media
Studies teacher at mvinnicombe@st-pauls.surrey.sch.uk or contact the school on 01932 786485.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Yours Sincerely
Jordan Brace (Producer). EleanorWatson(Director). BrendaBokoe (Director).
