Further Audience Research

This is an example of using social media to help with my audience research. By asking a question as a facebook status, it means a wide variety of people will read and hopefully answer the 3 questions I asked. 

This is the response I got for the question I asked, however it wasn't the best of responses as it was generally the same kind of age and gender bracket that answered the question. Male aged 18-25 with one female aged 17. 

Problems and Issues

Due to issues with timing and location I unfortunately wasn't able to film the band footage when I needed and wanted to. Therefore the filming location had to be changed and less instruments involved. 

Props List

I do not need many props for my video, however I do need to use brown pillow cases to represent the sacks on peoples heads. 

I also need to use instruments to represent the performance aspect of the video. Instruments such as flutes and guitars. 

Booking Form

Requesting Permission from the Local Primary School

This is the letter I sent to the head teacher from the local primary school, asking if some of the children could participate in the music video.  

Monday 15th October 2012

Dear Mrs ________

My name is Amber Brunt and I am an A2 Media Studies student at Thomas Adams college in Wem. I am writing to request your permission to ask if some of your pupils, aged 8-11, are willing to participate in a music video that I am filming for my media studies. I would need a small group of 6 to 8 pupils. I apologise about the short notice but filming is planned to take place in and around Nesscliffe park and Hill on Monday 22nd of October.

If any pupils are willing to take part in the filming I can collect them from the school at 9:15am and take them to the park, with a member of your staff to accompany me. The video will purely be used for my media studies only, and the children's faces would not actually be seen because they would be wearing pillowcases on their heads and their faces will be pixelated once these are removed. If any parents wish to have more information on my proposed plans and video content they can contact me on my email address: ________ In addition they can see examples of my work at my blog: http://amberbrunta2media123.blogspot.co.uk/

This would a fantastic opportunity for pupils who are interested  in seeing  how music videos are put together and produced. I would also be willing to come in and show the end product to  the school and discuss my experiences so far in the media course I am doing.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Shooting Schedule

I propose that my video will be filmed on Sunday the 21st and Monday 22nd of October, filming the band and forrest shots on the Sunday, and the group shots and Narrative on the Monday

Requesting Track Permission

 This is the email I sent to the band requesting track permission using the email address I found on the band's website.
