Update on Documentary progress

Yesterday we spent some time putting together the final touches to both pitches and treatments; Change The Record - the independent record store to internet sales documentary, and City Canvas - the documentary exploring and challenging misconceptions about street art. We managed to speak to both Spike (our contact for the record store idea, who owns the Music Consortium in Liverpool) as well as Kieran (our contact from Liverpool organisation ZapGraffiti) via phone calls,  who have both agreed to keep in touch and have shown interest in our ideas at this stage.

Due to the university strike today, unfortunately we were unable to pitch today, despite having everything in place as a group. We have managed to use today as an opportunity to make further contact with our possible contributors to make them aware of this change, and have agreed to contact them further on Monday after our pitch to discuss the chosen idea further.

We have arranged to meet up again tomorrow as a group to adapt our pitches slightly, based on the information that our contributors have given us and to practice timing our pitch to the 10 minutes we will be given on Monday. At this stage, we feel quite confident as a group that we have two strong ideas and are organised, but have agreed that after Monday it should be a lot easier for us to progress once we have found out which concept gets chosen, as then we can really focus in on spending our time making arrangements and planning for one key idea instead of splitting our time between organising the separate two that we currently have.
