Unit 5: Production Paperwork - Planning and contact with my interviewee through emails

After an email that I send to Mr. Khan, he referred me to his Administrator Assistant. I had to send him another letter for more clarification on my coursework and the deadline. See below for evidence for sending an email for Mr. Khan's Assistant.  This was on 29th of November 2011.

''Hi Luke,

For start, thank you very much for your reply on my email for Mr. Khan.

Just to inform you, I go to Chestnut Grove School in year 13, doing my A2 Media Production.

For my A2 Media Production, I am commissioned to produce a 5 minutes documentary.

Most importantly, my documentary is about government censorships on sexually explicit music videos, particularly those music videos published on websites such as YouTube.  

The reason why I choose Mr. Khan, to participate in my documentary is because his opinion would be highly valuable for my teenage target audience and the interview with Mr. Khan would give me the opportunity to obtain a higher grade for my A2 Media Production course.

The latest date that my documentary will need to be completed is on the 16^th of December 2011. But, I am permitted to hand it in later if Mr. Sadiq Khan’s schedule is completely booked.

Could you let me know as soon as possible when he can be interviewed and where it is possible to interview Mr. Khan please?

 I would preferably want to interview Mr. Khan in an office.

Many thanks,

Maryam Latifi ''

Unit 5: Production Log

On 08/11/11, I send my interviewee a notice on Facebook about whether she would like to take part in my documentary and she agreed to do so.

On 9/11/11 I went to the Tooting Hub with my twin sibling to guide her with her interview with Simon Payne who is a Connexions PA and I had to interview my interviewee as well but unfortunately as I went there she wasn't availability there so I had to leave her a note for my interviewee, Keera, so she could arrange a convenient appointment with me.

On 16/11/11, I went to the Tooting Hub at 11.30 p.m. and arrived there at 12.00 p.m. to meet my interviewee, known as Keera on time. Unfortunately, my interviewee forgot about our meeting and I left her a note stating my contact details so that she can arrange a new appointment with me.

At 3.00 p.m. I went back to the Tooting Hub and there I saw her and we arranged a new appointment with her on Monday 21/11/11 at 11.00 a.m.  I got her contact details too.

The video footage will be an introduction to the documentary (who she is, what she does, does her image affects her in any ways, what music does she produce, how does she produce it, does she has a music studio with producers etc. What record label would you like to get signed to? Do you think my documentary is interesting and appealing to you? Do you think that it is right or wrong for the government to censor sexually explicit music videos? Do you think that you have to confirm to that as well? What makes you be who you are?

On this day I will be then making another interview where I will interview her properly about my documentary.

Unit 5: Production Paperwork - Planning and contact with my interviewees via emails

Below is the reply that I have received after sending an email to Mr. Khan, which I obtained from his website.

''Thank you for your email.

Please note that emails are treated in the same manner and with the same level of importance as other communications, i.e. post, telephone and fax.

Dear Mr. Khan, I am a student from Chestnut Grove Sixth form in Balham. For my A2 Media Production course, I am asked to produce a documentary about whether it is right or wrong for the Government to censor sexually explicit music videos? My request is whether you would be able to answer a few questions in an interview with me for this documentary? An interview with you, would give me an opportunity to obtain a higher grade for my A2 Media Production course. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible in order for us to arrange a convenient appointment. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Maryam Latifi
