Letter to a Friend

Attached is a letter that I wrote to my roommate that gave him an overview of my research project: 

Dear Alex,

I’m taking a class at Belmont this semester called “Third Year Writing.” Instead of writing several papers like the majority of the other sections, our professor is having us research a topic and write one large paper at the end of the semester. We have to chose a topic of interest that pertains to certain culture. As you know, I’m already actively involved in the film industry and have consequently chosen to write my paper about it. I plan on doing most of my research through observation while on various sets for music videos and commercials. In addition to that observation, I also plan on interviewing several people in the industry and getting their take on some questions. Some of the questions that I plan on asking are: how is the industry evolving? What makes Nashville a unique market? and finally What traits must one have to be successful in the industry? Not only do I plan on learning more about the market that exists in Nashville, but I also want this project to serve as a tool for me when I graduate. I want to know as much about the industry as possible before I dive fully into it.

As a friend and roommate I appreciate your advice and opinion on this project. 

Thanks in advance for hearing me out,

Jon
