Letter for Year 11 Dancers

As we have decided for the chorus of our music video, we will be using a dance routine with the use of different backdrops and decorations, I have written a letter that we will be sending out to the Year 11 dance group to ask if they are interested in taking part. Below is a copy of the letter that we will be sending. We have put the school logo in the corner of the letter to make it look more formal.

 

Dear Year 11 Dancers,

We are currently creating our A2 Music video for our Media Studies Course, and would love to ask you if you would like to be involved in the making of it. We are using the song ‘California Gurls’ by Katy Perry and have already filmed certain parts of the music video. However, for the chorus of the song we came up with the idea of having a group of dancers wearing bright clothing, makeup etc., with an exciting background to relate to the original version on the music video.                                           

As the deadline for our music video is around the start of February, we would like to ask you if you would be available (if interested), just after we come back to school after the Christmas holidays. If you are interested, the task would involve creating a dance to the chorus of the song, which lasts around 25 seconds that we can then repeat for each chorus throughout the song. We thought the idea of using the original dance moves would be really clever for us to use, and also easier for you. Some of the year 13 dancers, will be helping us with the production of the dance, and we should be using the school hall to do this. If anyone has any bright, glittery or outgoing clothing it would be really helpful to fit with the genre of the song, and also we will be doing bright and glittery makeup on the day of filming, so it should be exciting!! There will be different back drops and decorations to deal with so please take this into account, and also it will involve staying after school to do ‘rehearsals’ and the actual filming of it. We hope that it won’t take too many attempts to record the actual footage, but we hope that you’ll be available on the days that we will be filming. It shouldn’t take too much of your time, and if you are not available on a certain day for filming we will be able to re-arrange.                                                                                                                          

We hope that you will all be interested; it is a great thing to put on CV’s and references, and will be a lot of help for us for our Media A-Level. If you are interested, please get in touch with Toniey at tonieysalt@hotmail.com and I will create a list of people who will be taking part. Once I know the numbers, I will give out a schedule of when we will be creating the dance, rehearsing and the actual filming.

Thank you we hope you will be interested,

Toniey, Alice and Amy.
