Production Meeting

Production meeting	Date	What happened
1	1-10-2010	We got together in our groups after doing planning and research, to pitch our potential film ideas. We put our ideas on slide shows and produced spider diagrams.
2	4-10-2010	After choosing which film idea we were going to use, we constructed a questionnaire to find out who our target audience would be, we handed these out around the class and to teachers and people in the street.
3	6-10-2010	We collated the information that we gathered on our target audience and put the information into graphs and analysed them. This gave us a greater understanding of our target audience.
4	11-10-2010	This session was based solely on the sound side of our production so we did some minor sound research, then we looked into different tracks that we could have to be the backing track to our film.
5	13-10-2010	After narrowing our song choices down we chose the one which we felt to be best suited to our film and the one that gave us most freedom when filming.
6	15-10-2010	This session was spent drafting emails and letters we could send to the producers of the song we chose to enable us to get permission to use their song.
7	18-10-2010	After sending the letters and emails we did some research into the band we chose history to enable us to get a better understanding for them and what there about.
