Meeting Review

Me and Benjy had an interview with Helen; the owner of Age & Sons on Thursday and it went very well. We begun by introducing ourselves and before beginning, I asked for permission to voice-record the meeting for evidential purposes. Helen very kindly offered us a hot drink and agreed to the recording and we begun discussing the film. Helen brought up the very good point of insurance. Asking if we are covered under the schools insurance or elsewhere. This is a subject matter we had not yet discussed or thought of due to the common event of filming within the school, where our insurance completely covers us. For this we decided we would ask our tutor and report back to her with information. We then moved on to the matter of plotline, we explained the plot of the film in question and she had done Media Studies herself during college, thus she understood the need for quality and what shots would be effective. We discussed the time and date in which we wanted to film, and we were given clearance providing we can provide valid information on insurance.

The meeting overall went very well, Helen was understanding, kind and helpful with helping us within the meeting. We discussed very valid points and looked into every aspect required, we even discussed shooting there again for our final piece, which she then also agreed to providing it is pre-arranged. The meeting could have possibly been better had we already looked into insurance and cover. This is something we can work on in the future. The meeting was approximately 20 minutes long overall, 15 minutes spent dicussing and 5 minutes on looking around the area and swapping phone numbers. Should we aquire another meetkng in future, we will ensure that we have looked into every detail and aspect of the films production.
