Letter Sent To Potential Locations For Permission To Film

This is the letter which we sent out to several Village Hall Committees requesting the opportunity to use the hall for filming:

12th December 2009

Dear Village Hall Committee,

My name is Emma Brookbanks; I am a student who attends the Marlborough School in Woodstock, at which I am currently undergoing my AS levels which includes Maths, History, Geography and Media Studies.

For my Media Studies final I, along with three other girls in my class, Alexis Still, Hannah Green and Mary Beadle, have been set the task of producing a short 4 minute opening of a film, within this we have to simulate a party scene. We were hoping that we may be able to use Bletchingdon Village Hall as the setting for our short production; however the main issue is that we do not have a budget for this and we were hoping that there may be a chance if we would be able to use the Hall for free for one evening. We are well aware that this is a large favour to ask you but we hope that you consider it.

I can assure you that there will be no alcohol or drugs consumed at all. As we have to simulate a modern party atmosphere there will be alcohol bottles present and fake drugs for example we plan to use icing sugar, however this is entirely for filming purposes only. Also I can assure you that adults will be present as we are only 17, our teacher approves of our plans and we hope you consider our plea.

Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Brookbanks, Alexis Still, Hannah Green and Mary Beadle.
