Confirmation letter - EEHS - Mr Russell

Dear Mr Russell,

I am writing to you today enquiring about using the Lanham hall for our A2 Media course on Thursday 13th October 2011. My group and i chose the location of Epsom and Ewell High School due to the stage within the hall, this is suitable for myself as I am a student of EEHS Sixth' form. 


I’m an A level student studying media and as part of our coursework for the course, we have to create a music video, CD cover and advert to promote a single. As this part of video shooting is vital to our A2 Media course, my group and I felt the need to express the gesture of writing a letter to fully confirm to availability of the hall. 


With regards and many thanks. 


The A2 media group - Pryank Patel, Tom Burlinson, Shanice Farley, Sophie Griffin. 

A Letter to You Me At Six.

To make sure that our video is not infringing the rights of the band we have drafted a letter to send to them, asking for permission to use their song. Here it is:

"Dear You Me At Six

I am writing to you on behalf of my school (Epsom and Ewell high school) to ask for permission to use your song “Stay With Me” in my 6^th form media class’ media coursework.

I’m an A level student studying media and as part of our coursework for the course, we have to create a music video, CD cover and advert to promote a single. Our group decided on your song and as such we are writing to you to ask for permission to use your song. We understand that under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 we do not have to ask for permission as this is for educational and non-profit purposes, however out of courtesy we would still like to extend to you this letter asking for express written permission.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we hope to hear from you soon,

Yours sincerely,

Pryank Patel, Tom Burlinson, Sophie Griffin and Shanice Farley"

Music Video Research

I have researched music videos with my peers in the Year 13 class. I mainly focused my research on Goodwins theory as his theory is adopted and used in all the music videos. I made a Prezi presentation on Goodwins theory, with examples from specific music videos, which clearly explain his theory in parts.

Our general target audience.

Our specific target audience will be similar, of the the same as the You Me At Six audience. The target audience would mainly look at the age ranges of 16-25 year old. The gender would mainly target female.

Our Locations

We will be using Epsom and Ewell High school for most of the filming e.g live performance shots of the band:

A view from the stage. (The band's point of view)

A shot of the main stage.

The main location: Epsom and ewell high school.

Ewell Court Park. We will film the main love scene within the video at this location.

Planning - Treatment

Our music video is going to promote the You Me At Six single Stay With Me. The idea for our video is about the story of a boy and a girl, and the breakdown of their relationship. This (love, relationships, the breakdown of said relationships) is a common theme for You Me At Six’s songs and as such, we decided to continue with this theme. The tone of the song and they lyrics also played a major part in this.

The video will be a mix of narrative and performance. With the narrative taking a slightly fragmented form, it will be chronologically linear, but with flashbacks, the desired effect once editing is complete is that the mix of narrative, flashback (of which there are 2) and performance will create a video that feels fragmented. This is because we want it to reflect the emotions of our main character in the video.

The plot of the narrative is that of a young man who has just been dumped by his girlfriend, saying that she no longer wants a relationship. He then goes home and sees all of the pictures of them together, and possessions which start the series of flash backs, then we cut to some time shortly later (a week or 2 later) in which we see him talking to a friend via text etc, in which he is told to go after her. He does and as he is talking to her, her new boyfriend comes round the corner, resulting in him leaving and the girl now being the one who is upset. Intercut with this is performance video of the band and a few scenes of the girl out with her new boyfriend
