Location shots

We took pictures of both Jodie (pictures 1 and 2) and Anna's (pictures 3 and 4) bedrooms, as possible locations for an interview, as we wanted the interview to be with a typical Tumblr user, so thought that their bedroom would be an appropriate setting. We chose Anna's to film in.

Request for interview - Kira Jones

Kira Jones,
We are writing to request an interview concerning your use of the social networking site Tumblr for use in our A level Media Studies documentary. The documentary, titled ‘Internet Culture: Online Hysteria’, is one episode of a series about Internet culture, with this episode looking closer at fan communities online. The interview will cover your own use of the site, as well as your opinions regarding the different communities on the website.
We would also like to request permission to use screen capture footage of your blog, to be edited into the final interview. The purpose of this is to provide viewers with a visual representation of a typical Tumblr blog, as well as to better reinforce the points you may discuss in the interview.
The documentary will go towards our final A level grades in Media Studies. As such, the footage will only be used for educational purposes, and will not be broadcast publicly. However, the final product will be uploaded to YouTube, as per the requirements of the exam board. If this or any of the above would be an issue, please inform us and we will arrange a way to work around this issue. Since this is a no-budget production, we would have to unfortunately request that you would agree to the interview free of charge.
If you would be happy to partake in the interview for our documentary, please reply to this email in order to discuss any concerns or questions you may have and to hopefully arrange an interview date.
 Many thanks and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Tom Barden

Due to technical limitations of uploading and embedding .swf files, it is only possible to display the animatic as a looping image.
