Permission & Risk Assessment

After making my song choice (She's So Lovely by Scouting for Girls) i needed to gain permission from the record company to use it. I went onto the Scouting for Girls website, to find their record company. I found out that they are signed to SonyUk and so i sent a letter which explained my situation and requested permission top use the track for my project. I sent the letter on the 9th of October and on the 20th of October Elizabeth Peers from the Legal and Business department wrote back giving permission under circumstances to use the song. It stated that i could only use it for educational purposes that i had already detailled in my letter, that i indemnify Sony Music against all liabilities which may arise and that i must credit: 'She's so Lovely performed by Scouting for Girls (p) 2007 Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited.
When i wrote my letter i didn't think i wouldm get a reply so i was very happy to get it. It added a profesional feel to my project and made it more complete.

After gaining permission i went on to do a risk assessment. I found a good layout on the internet and so drafted mine from there. The severity and liklihood of the risks were all low and no one was ever really at any risk. Filling out the risk assessment, although made it more professional and made the planning more complete, was very tedious as nothing that could be dangerous happens in my video and so all the answers were virtually the same.
