Treatment Meeting

As producer, I attended the production meeting at stores to ensure we had all the equipment we needed booked in time for collection on Monday. I have made an equipment list so I can make sure we have everything we've booked on Monday and also so I can make sure it is all returned on time.

After this, I met with Lewis and Rhys to start refining the pitch. The first thing we discussed were the sources I'd found the previous afternoon and we decided that we should contact Jonny Walker to see if he would be available for an interview. I sent an email off and also called up his manager which after an unsuccessful attempt became very useful as she said she'd call him to discuss this and get back to me. We also decided to try and find a local councillor that could shed some light on the legislation from Liverpool Council's point of view so I spent some time enquiring with their council services to find a name and sent an email off there too.

We began writing up a treatment but unfortunately Lewis had to leave, so Rhys and I continued on with the two treatments. By now, the busking idea has progressed and is looking a lot more viable than the Banksy exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, so our treatments are very biased in that we spent a lot more time on the Busking one. We even have a script of questions written out for the various segments of the documentary and have some fairly solid ideas of how we want to present buskers and what angle to take - humanising the busker and giving the audience more insight into their lives and why they do what they do.
