Emailing contacts in the music industry




Me and Kenny went to norwich and went to the music video festival in the forum. We met a guy from BBC Norfolk called Gary and he talked to us about good and bad points of music videos. We received a lot of good advice from Gary and he talked to us in great depth about the structure of music videos and what makes a music video good. It was very helpful and me and kenny will try and incorporate his advice into our music video. He also said that we could contact him for any help and so today me and kenny took him up on his offer and emailed him for location advice for our video. Heres the email that we sent him today:

"Hello,
We came to one of the music video workshops and you said you'd help us out with locations. We will be using the church that you mentioned for And The Winner Is...'s new video but for the A2 course we're filming Rules of Romance a music video and are looking for some low-fee locations (or preferably completely free) maybe some sort of abandoned warehouse or somewhere that would be willing to let us come and film for a day. Or if you have any other ideas that you might know that could be useful to suit the bands genre.
Any help is greatly appreciated,"

Gary has not replied yet.
We also emailed Jon stone who previously worked for the music video company sitcom soldiers who produce music videos that are typically well known for relatively low budget, appealing to smaller and upcoming bands. Here is the emailed we sent him:

"Hey,

Sorry to email you again, but I'm now getting deeper into Pre-Production of our A2 Music Video. We're looking for locations and contacting any of our contacts who might possibly know some good locations for a rock music video relatively local to Norfolk - and at a low fee, or preferably free!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again"

But Jon replied saying:

"Hi mate,
I haven't done any shoots in norfolk so can't help you i'm afraid. It's always juts to go for a wander, end up discovering places you didn't know existed."
