Email Confirmation for Use of Thom Yorke's Analyse

In order to clear a song by Thom Yorke, we had to contact his recording label XL Recordings. I did so and they told me to contact Bryce Edge. This is the email I received.

Dear Lewis,

Please send your request to:

BRYCE EDGE (bryce@cyard.com) -

Best,

Isobel Palos o/b/o Emma Lomas


I contacted Bryce Edge and he confirmed that it was okay to use this song. This is the email he sent.

Hello lewis,
as long as its Just a college project that should be fine,
Bryce Edge

Hi there!
How are you? My name is Lewis Costello. I am currently putting
together an independent film for a college project. The project is
non-profit and the film will not be reproduced but it would be really
great to create the right effect with the film to get as many marks as
possible. I was wondering if we would please be able to use Thom
Yorke's Analyse in the film? I couldn't tell you how much I'd
appreciate your help with this.
Thanks again, hope all's well, please let me know!
Lewis

After giving the questionaire to 15 people here are the results.

1. How old are you?



[4] 0 - 16 [6] 17-25 [2] 26 - 35 [3] 36 - 50 [0] 50+

Taking this into account, our targer audience would range from 16-25

2. Are you male or female?

[9] Male [6] Female

The people we asked seemed to be more male that female, the film will probably appeal more to males than females

3. What genre(s) best suits your taste?

[3] Comedy [4] Horror [3] Thriller [1] Romance [1] Drama

[2] Action [1] Other

Romance and Drama proved to be least favourite amoungst the people asked. Comedy, Horror and Thriller proved to be the popular ones, when disussing the genre of the film we make, this will be taken into account 

4. What type of film do you prefer?

[13] Mainstream [2] Independant

If the film was to be made into full length, it would have to be created by one of the more dominant film and production companies

5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how complex do you like the plot to be? (1 being no plot at all, and 10 being a very complex/confusing plot)



[0] 1 [5] 2 [3] 3 [3] 4 [2] 5 [1] 6 [1] 7 [0] 8 [0] 9 [0] 10

The people out there dont really want a confusing plot, but neither do they want a really easy plot to follow, it will be a blend of confusing but then will make sense

6. How often, annually, do you go to the cinema?



[0] 0 [7] 1 - 5 [6] 6 - 8 [2] 9+
this is good to get the view of the people who go to the cinema regularly because this gives us their opinion on what they'd like to see come out

Teachers Comments

There has been some good progress but we have now reached half way through the project and there is still a bit of work to flesh out your blog.

Your analysis of opening sequences need more detail. How are they good examples of opening sequences? What micro elements have been effectively used? More detail and terminology is needed. Remember to do 3 each.

You need to post the results from your questionnaire. Present as graphs to illustrate your finidings.

You have not made any posts on the production process. Schedules, location photographs, production photos etc all help to give a clear idea of what has gone into the production process.

Your blog must contain a post with a clear indication of who is carrying out which roles. It is not clear who is doing what for the film.

You must all post equally! At the moment one member of the group has only posted once and is in danger or receiving a very low grade as there is no evidence of any contribution.
