Due to recording sessions, we decided to keep the meeting very brief and mainly use email.

We mainly ran over what our plans for the day were and what was happening in terms of technical issues.

This week we represented our presentation

We went over out learning outcomes and set them for the project.

Presentation – Circle Studios2

• To mix and master diverse material so that it can be presented on a compilation audio product to a client.
• To research how to present products in a manner that is appealing to the education sector.
• To research and price up options and tariffs for creating final products.
• To research and practice the internal dynamics of running a production company.

We also spoke with Lee about our meeting with the band and what we were planning next. He gave us some direction for our research and suggested some methods.

This week we presented our presentation.

We went through our business goals for the project and our individual learning outcomes.  My learning outcomes were focused towards the production and product side.

Presentation – Circle Studios

• To be consistent in mixing and mastering multiple genres to a high level to produce a professional product worthy of payment.
• To know how to present products of a similar nature to a media based client.
• To understand professional working relationships in a media scenario.
• To practice and understand the internal dynamics of running a production company.

Since the last meeting, we had some unfortunate timing problems with Dave. This had meant that we still hadn’t met the bands or arranged timings.

We met with Lee and spoke about how meeting the bands had been rearranged to this week.

Since we were unable to meet with Dave, Joe and I worked on our individual learning outcomes and other related research. We have decided to go visit my college tutor to gain more primary research into the project. Lee spoke about going to speak with schools and with people we didn’t initially know to help us research more about our audience. He also spoke to us about having a professional appearance. We spoke about websites and how we would approach potential clients.

We then looked more at our learning outcomes and spoke about the presentation and the preparation for that.

Before this meeting, Joe and I spoke about our meeting with Dave and where we wanted our project to go.

We spoke to Lee about how the meeting had gone and showed him the document we gave to Dave which highlighted our idea, the price and aims for the project. We spoke about how much Dave enjoyed the idea and how fast the project was going. We discussed the budget issues and how Dave didn’t like the extra charges but would be willing to pay the £500 for the engineering.

We then talked about creating some learning outcomes for the project and what we each wanted to achieve by creating the product. Lee also decided to postpone the presentations  for the project as he didn’t want to slow anything down.

We didn’t discuss a much else in this meeting other than the initial meeting with Dave.
