Commission Unit- Contacting the NoTo Mob

Today i have spent a lot of my time working on contacting the group we found, The NoTo Mob. An email i have sent reads:

"Hello,

We are writing as students from the University for the Creative Arts in Rochester. We have been given the task of creating a documentary film piece as part of our commission unit, and we are writing today to ask if you would allow us to make our documentary film piece on the work of the NoToMob and their activities in Medway. Off the record the work of the NoToMob is something that we find very interesting and we think it sends a positive message to correctly deal with corrupt money-driven system.

The brief for our unit is called My Hero, where we have to produce a documentary relating to a person or group of people that inspire others. After seeing your work online and word of mouth, what you do for the community is something that we think would be suitable for this brief. If you could provide us with more information about your group and its philosophy, we could potentially arrange interviews with a member or members of your movement and give you the opportunity to spread the message of your movement in front of a camera. If you do not feel comfortable appearing in front of a camera, we would be more than happy to accept a written statement, providing that you give permission for us to broadcast it as part of our documentary.

If you are not willing to appear on our documentary or provide a written statement, could you please give us some further information on what kind of direction we could take in finding out more on your movement.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you, we have a contact number if you would rather a verbal chat instead of e-mail, 07787697290

Mark Cooper and Andrew Cox"

In the email, we made sure to provide as much information about ourselves as possible, our intention with the creation of the documentary film piece, as well as what we wanted from them exactly. We also made sure to provide them with suitable contact details so that a member of the NoTo Mob would be able to contact us easily.

I am hoping that we receive a response from the NoTo Mob as soon as possible, so that we can begin preparing the questions we want to ask them.
