And Once Again...

We are, yet again, being set back for filming in Barry Island, due to Rosie's illness and Joby's lack of funds at the moment.
This is not frustrating at all. :')

Fundraising - Cake Sale

Today, as one large group, the entire class held a bake sale to raise funds for our music videos.

All-in-all, we earned £18 between us, and this will be divided between the five groups.

This isn't the best result, but my group will be able to pick up the rest of the budget from our own money.

As far as I have worked out, we will only need £21 between us - £7 per person for a return ticket to Barry Island for the filming.

Update - 27th February

Today, Joby and I phoned Glamorgan council again and finally booked a definite date and all the locations for filming in Barry Island.
Filming there will be this Thursday.

Joby was also in charge of phoning Treorchy council to find permission to film in the abandoned factories. We didn't get very far, but we managed to find the post code of the location and we now know that the factories are privately owned.

I also made another, more detailed version of the storyboards today, and Joby did the same for the camera script.

The cake sale for raising funds has been scheduled for tomorrow. We are doing this in a larger group, and will split the profits equally.

All seems to be going well, even though we've been set back considerably by the permissions and other factors.
