Final Major Project Unit: Project Update

We went to London to meet with the Chief Executive of Bipolar UK. Lauren has done a lot of research into the company, what they’ve worked on in the past, what they’re doing now, so we can see what they can do for us and what we might be about to do for them. She prepared the content for the proposal with some questions, and more, and I’ve added the style part on how we’d like it to be shot. Our main aim with meeting Bipolar UK was about the possibility of using their contacts with their service users to find participants for our documentary. After a well-informed pitch by Lauren, we were able to secure a deal whereby they advertise for our documentary, as long as we provide them with copies of consent forms etc. At the moment it sounds like a commissioned piece to aid their 30 year anniversary, which is happening in the right time-frame which we’re looking to shoot so, by happy coincidence, they interlink. If it wasn’t for this, and Lauren’s quick answers to the Chief’s questions, I don’t think they would of helped us.
