i think this project went really well and the relationship i had with my partner, simon bates was very good as well. the difference between this and say a commission is that i wasn't just asked to go and make something. simon bates was there communicated with me every step of the way. we were working together instead of me working for him. i knew early on that the most important thing was to have a strong relationship with my partner. the final product wouldn't have been as good if the relationship was wrong. luckily me and simon got on really well and he always stopped to listen to what i had to say. simon was impressed with my creativity and communication skills. when he came in to hear everyones pitches for the fiver night trailer, he said to me that he thought my idea had a lot of potential. while i was filming at the junction on the night of the fiver, i went around interviewing almost all of the junction staff and the bands. simon said that my approach was very professional and i didn't interrupt the show which was the most important thing during the fiver. i didn't want to feel as if i was in the way so i made sure that i got what i needed straight away preventing causing too much hassle.
overall i feel that this project was great. i was abit nervous at the beginning of the project because i wasn't sure if i was going to get a partner to work with for my interaction project. i looked into a lot of ideas as to what i could do, looking around my local businesses and cinemas, and i didn't get any replies when i tried contacting them about it. luckily simon bates got back to me and the project was really fun. it took me out of college and into the real world. that's how it felt to me anyway. i was treated like a professional and because of this, i think it shows in my final video.
