seenby,I’mhappythat it isthe limitedaudience yousuggestbutIneedyourassurance thatthiswill
NOT go onany social medianetwork. Alsocouldyouletme know the nature of the filmasI would
like toassure myself thatitdoesnotgo againstthe Christiannature of the Churchyardi.e.isthe film

My Reply,
Sandra,
Thank youso muchfor your reply.We are lookingtofilmoneitherTuesdayat4:30 or onthe
Wednesdayat12:20 onwards...The Wednesdaymaybe betterforus.We wouldbe puttingour
completedfilmontoYouTube.However,we wouldchange the privacysettingontoprivate,meaning
no one butour group wouldbe able tosee it.The videoevidence needstobe publishedonto
YouTube forthe external examinertosee.Also,we wouldnotneedaccesstothe inside of the
buildingorthe hall.
I can reassure that anyfilmingthattakesplace wouldbe professionalandrespectful.The narrative
revolvesaroundthe storyof man,whowhile drivinghome isguidedbyagirl to see herfatherto
impressuponhim,herhope thathe is well andthatshe loveshim.the younggirl isportrayedina
positive lightandreflectsasense of reconciliation.

2. I am more than happyto arrange to meetupor speakto youon the phone to discussthe narrative in
detail,myphone numberis07521634252
Thanksagain forthe reply,usingthe graveyard wouldbe amassive helpwiththe productionof our
short film.
