Glee Mission: Don't Stop Believing

The message Glee sends is to never stop believing: in yourself, in your plans, in your ideas and in your opinion. That's exactly what we're doing. We're going to show people how much Glee has affected us as people, as well as how McFly has had such a huge impact on our day-to-day lives. These two link up so perfectly that we can't NOT do something about this. Why McFly hasn't been on Glee before is a mystery, but instead of solving the mystery, we're going to change it.

In our previous mission we tried to show the people surrounding the TV show Glee what McFly can do as a band. We showcased their talent, their personalities, what kind of music they make and tried to convince officials as well as fans of the show that covering McFly isn't at all a strange idea - in fact, it's a brilliant idea.

This time around, we want to show people that the message Glee sends out links up perfectly with McFly. Glee is all about giving people confidence to be themselves, to believe in their own ideas and their own opinions. Glee gives people the confidence to stop pretending to be what people think they need to be in order to be accepted. McFly isn't at all a stranger to this message: with songs like Smile and One For The Radio they've shown people that we all look the same in the dark and that we don't need to look amazing to have amazing things happen to us.

CALLING ALL GALAXY GLEEKS

We are looking for "Galaxy Gleeks" - yes, we just did the most horrible thing and combined fandom names. We apologise. If you're both a HUGE fan of Glee and a HUGE fan of McFly, we want you! If Glee has had an impact on your life for the better, we want you! If McFly has made you realise that you're not alone, we want you! The only thing that you need is some answers to our questions, a personal story, a video camera and a YouTube account.

If you fit the critera above, please keep on reading to find out how you can be exclusively involved with our "Glee Mission part 2: Don't Stop Believing" video. If we don't get enough people joining in, this won't work (like with all missions we do, we need as many people as possible).

Film yourself, answering the following questions:

1. Why do you think Glee should cover a McFly song?
2. Which song of McFly do you think should be covered on Glee (explain into detail)?
3. Please share a personal, emotional moment in your life which relates to either Glee or McFly or both. We are looking for people who can give us personal experiences in which they were completely themselves, had confidence and were helped by either the band or the TV show. This can be ANYTHING - any sort of experience or personal story will do.
4. What do you think about the Glee Mission that mission:MCFLY has organised?
5. Do you think the Glee Mission will work? (Trick question, we'll leave it up to you if you can find the correct answer!)
6. Finish your video by saying "Don't Stop Believing" into the camera.  

Tip: When English isn't your first language and you feel a bit self concious talking into a camera, you can also write your answers down and place your answers right next to the camera. You can then film yourself reading them out and it'll look like you are being interviewed by someone who's behind the camera!

When you are filming, please think of the following things:

•  Please don't hold the camera whilst you film yourself. Place it on a steady surface to avoid the camera moving or shaking.
• Make sure the lighting is okay. We need to be able to see your face - anything else in shot won't be as important as your face, so make sure that your face is clearly visible (examples of people who do lighting right: one - two - three)
• Please make sure that the audio is HQ. The odd background noise is okay (we know that you can't help it when a bird tweets outside your window) but please don't use background music or anything else. We want to be able to clearly hear your voice.
• Do not edit your video. Don't add weird filters, or weird effects to your video. You can cut and paste your questions, but please don't do anything else to it. We'll take care of that in order to create a video that looks as a whole.
• It's okay to do your video in various settings, various angles and get other people involved (for instance, your parents, friends etc.) 

Upload your video to YouTube and set the video to private and allow 'missionmcfly' to see your video. Either do that, or 'unlist' your video, which hides your video from the public. Send the DIRECT LINK to your youtube video to contact@missionmcfly.com 

We are accepting videos until Sunday, 22 April at Midnight (UK time). Once we have edited the entire film, we'll make a huge day of uploading it and then you'll hear more about how you can help us in the Glee mission!
