Minutes of meeting 15th January - Initial information needed for the promo video - by Simon Bates

Shown below is a general summary of notes on what Simon Bates (Working for the Junction as events manager) would like out of our interaction showing a clear partnership with himself. Her is looking for either a promotional video or documentary for the Fiver, and what these two projects would include are explained int he previous post. I had a summary of questions to ask him, and asI asked him these questions, I took minutes of the meeting, including what his response was and what he thought should be in the video. Below is a summary of notes written up on what the initial information for the Fiver is.

• Video promo must be about 3 to 5 minutes long
• No archive footage to hand from the junction
• Must be all our own footage, shot ourselves
• footage needs to be high quality
• bands get invited to the fiver, after looking at their myspace accounts and picking the best bands
• Running order of the promo and documentary is vital to the success of the completed video overall
• Can animated junction logo, but don't change it too much
• tickets have model release covers, so can use crowd shots
• 19th is the confirmed date for the fiver event
• we can film backstage if we wish to at the fiver event (backstage passes)
• do not dilute the the junction branding, it must be all the same
• The middle of March is the time it needs to be finished by
• NO machines can be used such as the cherry picker
• music from the fiver must feature during the promo trailer somewhere
• no other music can be used unless it relates 100% to the fiver events
• possible two fixed angles to film the fiver ( roaming and on stage)
• make sure documentary crew film promo crew on night of shoot
• Gary can't work with us on the night as he is too busy
• Possible opportunity for custom lights during show
• collect loads of footage
• simplistic yet stylish video (professional)
• make sure to include everyone's skills within the finished video
• Interviews with Cram level 2 students interviews will work well and must be in the documentary as well
• documentary should be at 5 - 10 mins
