Day Two - Alie

On my second day of work Experience at the Cambridge Film Festival, I didn't have a lot to do. I arrived at 10am, but because there was seven of us there for that shift and the other six had stuff to edit, I was sent out around Cambridge to hand out Festival Daily's, which are daily newsletter things that inform people about what has been happening at the festival and how it is going. This was very similar to one on my tasks from my first day, but this time not only did I have to give them to shops and other place to put on display but I was told to hand them out to people walking past on the street. This was a lot more difficult than the day before, I revisited a lot of the places that I had handed brochures out to the day before because I knew that they would be willing to put them on display. But after that I still had a lot of Festival Daily's left, I then attempted to hand them out to people walking past on the street but this was a lot more difficult than giving them to shops, it was more difficult as with giving them to shop not only are they more likely to take them but I can give them a handful, people on the street, even if they do want one they will only take one. Also doing by myself made it difficult because I had to carry a lot by myself and wasn't able to cover as much places as I would have been able to do if I had more people helping me. In the end I manage to get quite a lot of people to take one but many people were either saying no to me, or just walking past me not evening answering me if I asked them if they wanted one. Unlike my first day though I didn't limit myself to only one place, I more around more places in Cambridge, handing them out if places like the train station. I managed to hand out all of the Festival Daily's by just after 1pm. Although I did take and very long time, and standing on the streets carrying lots of paper and having loads of people completely ignore you did become very tedious, this task went a lot better than I had expected it to.
