Professional Practise - First Meeting

   Mark Cooper emailed Nick Ward, the director of ‘The Friday People’ to arrange a meeting to discuss what he would like us to do for him. What videos he would like us create, what they have to include, who he would like in them etc. we arranged to meet him at Romney Place, where his office is based in Maidstone. Nick’s work location was a good factor to this project. The fact he was local and near central Maidstone made it easier for us to travel to him, especially with equipment as well incase we had to film at his office. We met up to make a few notes about the finished projects he wanted us to create, so that we clearly knew what we had to create for him and ‘The Friday People’.

  During this meeting, we discovered possible drawbacks that could affect our work. We found out that if at any point the charities funding was cut, the charity would have to be shut down and also Nick was going abroad for 3 weeks as a part of his work, which meant we could not start working together until nearly a month after this initial meeting. We had to accept these factors as they were and be patient with Nick and the charity to get our work done.
