The contribution i made to the meeting with our client.

Preparing for the meeting was a group effort, however we all had separate things that we focussed on. I was in charge of creating the moodboard and gathering all of the audience research. I chose to display the work on two separate A2 pieces of paper so it was clear for the client to see. I started to explain the video and what we have decided to do, but i made sure we kept to the clients original ideas as best i could. Furthermore i also explained that through my research it was shown that the audience love to see a storyline that they can follow and relate their bad relationships with.

During the meeting my role was to break the ice and get everything started. i did this by introducing the client to a lot of visual ideas so that they can get a good picture in their heads of what i was talking about. I also had the role of explaining the video and asking them if they had any changes they would like to make. I recorded the minutes during the meeting and created action points of things we as a group need to change.

Communication throughout the meeting flowed really well, everyone knew exactly what they had to say and pitch to the client. Once someone mentioned something for example the budget we all came together as a group and said something different to help that person out. Our ideas seemed to bounce off each other like electricity, and i feel it went really well. However in future we do need to let each other speak and not talk over one another because i think we confused the client slightly.

Problems and action points that arose during the meeting was our location shots. The client said that they wanted the beach to be the artists prominent singing location instead of the train, because the beach is a lot more peaceful and the surroundings will look better in the video. Furthermore the beach will show her reflecting on her past and what she has gone through. However they still like the fact we are going to use the train because it shows hidden messages of her moving on, looking towards the future.

The next step for our group is to solve the problems that arose during the meeting, and get back to the client within the next two weeks to show the changes we have made. Furthermore we will start filming the video in December which will envolve 5 days of shoting, and hopefully the client is impressed with the outcome.
