My participation in the weeks leading up to the final take of the show was rather limited, although it wasn’t through want of trying. I thought I would take this opportunity to inform you of why that was without going into too much detail of my personal life, which was also a contributing factor.

I was unable to attend the very first meeting for the script writing team, which consisted of Phil, Emilie and myself. This was due to commitments I had previously made with my other unit on the course, the other members of the group were unable to rearrange the meeting time, so unfortunately I missed that very first meeting.

A second meeting was arranged without my knowledge. I only found out that it had occurred on a later date so I missed that one too.

On my request a third meeting was decided on, although there was very little point as the script had been fully written by then.

I waited at the place we had each agreed to meet for around thirty or forty minutes but the others didn’t show up so, having no means to contact them, I left. When I saw them a f

ew days later, it transpired that the meeting time we had all agreed on had become inconvenient for one of them, so between each other the had meet two hours earlier without informing me at all.

I think that our producer did a good job at bring the group together. Although I didn’t get on with the scriptwriter as I have mentioned, I still believe that the over all script worked.

I contributed as much as I could to the development of the project despite the set back of being completely left out of the script writing process. I felt that if I couldn’t do things with the group then I would try to contribute in other ways. I went into the city and spent around four hours collecting as many shop related posters as I could, I obtain four huge shop window graphics as well as many smaller posters. I also made the cue cards used on the show. I also felt it would be beneficial for me and indeed the rest of the group if I researched co
