What we have done so far.

well after deciding on what we were going to do we did a lot of research on the topic and tried finding statistics and articles to back up our points.

we knew that we will need to include some interviews in our documentary opening. this meant that we needed to find some people to interview.

we produced a letter to send out to music companies around london; this included recording studios, schools, universities and youth groups.

Dear Sir/Madam,
As two passionate Media and Music A level students, at Greenford High School, Middlesex, planning our first year assessment piece, we will be independently producing a documentary.

This documentary will investigate the interest of many young people today who strive to enter the music industry. It will aim to explore the routes open to them and finally shed light upon some who have accomplished their ambitions as well as those who did not quite make it. We need the experience and expertise of industry professionals and would like to interview you for a segment about your profession. Ideally, it will inform the film and relay your insight about the industry.

We appreciate the fact that you have a busy schedule and do not wish to take much of your time. However, we would be very grateful for approximately 10-20 minutes of your time to learn more about you. Please let us know if and when this would be possible.

Thank you
Yours Faithfully

After sending the letter out we finally got a few replies back from a school governor who previously worked in a recording studio, and someone from the youth music theatre in london.

we also sent out letters to schools around the area to find out how the teachers are helping their students with furthering their careers in music.
