Week 4
This session we have a deadline to make sure all pre production is up to date. We decided to add detail to what we have already written. The notes from the client are very dry and brief and looks very brief. Therefore we are going to write about more about what the client has asked of us for instance: editing, colour, camera techniques etc.
Also making sure all story boards are as professional as possible. As we aren't too artistic, making storyboards to make information look as clear as possible, we did more written work on the subject in hand.
We also decided to only meet up twice due to distance. We kept in contact with the client using blogger and phoning every 4 to 6 days.
