Day three

The first lecture of the day was by Berwyn Rolands from FFresh. We have been told how we can benefit from Ffresh, what are we going to achieve by going to Ffresh and we are more likely to establish a relationship in Ffresh media rather than sending our CV's. We got some tips about how to submit our work. Copyright subject has been reminded how important is. Some students ask about the available work experience. They have been told there are three available work experiences.

Notes to guide the future

Audience research

Select your project for the right reasons, not because it fits local sources of finance

Remember that the screen play is the most important element in the package-films are about stories.

Build up relationships sales agents, bankers,lawyers

Corner store strategy look in the financial sources

Don't try to run before you can walk, develop fully

Know the value of your project in the market place ( budget the project then find out what perceived value is, look at similar projects looking at finance plan )

Make it for less than it's value

Know when to give up

Remember the last 10
