Cast Letter

Hello



On Wednesday 17th of November, Me (Francesca Batt), Courtney Heary, James Forbes and Connor Barry are filming for our media A2 coursework. Our coursework is a music video that we are making for a Indie Band called ‘The Pigeon Detectives’. To one of their songs called ‘I’m a Liar’. Below is the Idea of our music video.

My group and I have decided that our final idea would defiantly pursue with the dancing tramp. At the beginning of the lesson we were keen to think of the idea of using a dance group in the video who would randomly be dancing outside of the school. But we have changed this and decided that just the 'tramp' on his own would be much more appropriate and more effective. The ideas that we have decided on is having at the beginning the idea of a man who is in a suit who has the headphones on that seem to be making him sing and dance. He receives a phone call where he begins to be very stressed and runs and drops his ipod. The tramp picks it up and can not get the headphones of this is where he begins to sing and dance around. He begins to dance outside of the school and the kids do not have an idea of what is going on. This is where their reaction would be filmed like the 'T-Mobile' advert. He finally begins to get out of breath and starts to walk of and throws his headphones to the floor. Throughout there will be jump shots of live footage such as guitars playing.

We would really like you to be involved in the music video by basically acting like you have no idea who the ‘Tramp’ is outside of school. My group and I will be trying to hide to film this dancer so the cameras do not give it all away. We basically need you to come out of school when all the children are coming out and start pushing this dancer away from the premises. We need you to go along with the whole story so the video works in one shot because it can not be filmed again. We also need you for some shots where you are with another teacher seeing the tramp from inside of school. Also is it possible if you have another teacher you could find just so you can talk to when you see the tramp from inside the school.

If you could help us out with this could you let us know if Wednesday is ok for you, or if it is not ok for you? Can you let me know what day is please.



Thank you
