Email to drama department



Dear Damian O’keeffe
My name is Luke Duckworth and I’m on the Level 3 Interactive Media Year 2 Course. For our final project we’re required to use actual actors and actresses and I was hoping I could possibly collaborate with some of your students in the film. Your area was recommended to me by Carolyn Bowe. Would it be feasible to make contact with possibility of filming with them for a couple of days?
Here is a general consensus of the plot:
The movie is about a man arriving to a meet up with his 3 friends). They are involved in some criminal activities (arson) but our main character wants to stop them. He wants to remain friends with the others so he tells them what he intends to do and how he won’t tell anybody about what they had done. This leads to an argument. It’s revealed that they accidently killed someone during one of their arson attacks. As he turns away to leave he’s struck on the back of the head by a hammer and killed. We suddenly switch to his POV and watch the other characters freaking out. They’re sad at his friend’s death but decides they need to get rid of the body. They dismember the corpse. We get POV of the head being cut off. It’s then dropped into a plastic bag and we switch to normal camera mode. We then follow the killers as they take the pieces to the woods to dispose of with hydrochloric acid. They dump the body parts into a plastic tub and pour the acid over the parts. We see this from POV as the body slowly deteriorates.
While it sounds pretty grim I intend to produce it with more comedic outcome due to the stupidity of the characters.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am due to go on a residential with my course tomorrow so will not be in college or have access to email until early next week. I look forward to your advice and to get together for a possible meeting.
Regards
Luke Duckworth

This email was sent to Damian O'Keeffe, head of the Drama department to try and convince him to allow me to use some of his students.
