TV News: Odd Jobs and Loose Ends

TV News: Odd Jobs and Loose Ends

Before we start filming tomorrow the gang and I had a few loose ends and odd jobs to tie up.  

I emailed my contact to make sure they did't "go cold" and i also sent them some questions so that they could prepare.

Meanwhile Alex prepared some fantastic research on both petrol and electric cars, (taking in to account up front cost, mileage etc.)  that we could use in our package when we start filming tomorrow. I'll insert some of his findings bellow.

I made a few last minuet alterations to the script before printing it for everyone and made sure our risk assessment and other paperwork was close to hand. I like to be the keeper/collator of paperwork and have it to hand on my clipboard at all times. We also checked with Andrew that he had a list of the locations/routs we could visit and had cleared with the Kent film office.

 

This was all necessary preparation for tomorrow and will really help us get a good head start, everyone had a role to play and I remain optimistic about the week ahead.
