First Day

Today was pretty slow. When i turned up, i was an hour early due to the trains, but after wondering around for a bit i saw Alex and Bill walking into the picturehouse so went in with them. We sat around for a while then someone came over and gave us hundreds of ID card things to hole punch and put on lanyards. So we sat around doing this as other people slowly turned up, then we were told to make the VIP goody bags. This involved putting some chocolate, 2 things of shampoo or something, a magazine, a picturehouse brochure and various leaflets. After putting these all in the bags and carrying them upstairs, we sat around for a bit. Me and 2 others then went to re-fill the picturehouse brochure shelves, as they emptied very quickly. We were then given armfuls of the "Film Festival Daily" leaflets to hand out, so we were walking around town handing them to shops. Most shops took them and were happy to leave them on the counter for customers to take, but some said they weren't allowed but they took a couple for the staff room or employees.

After we had handed out all our leaflets, we went back to the Picturehouse and waited for Bill to return from wherever he had been. He gave us a very basic health and safety speech basically saying "Don't die, and No alligators". He then got us into groups to do different tasks, and Me, Mike, Matt and Tara went to scrpit and record a podcast explaining what was happening that day at the festival and what is going on tomorrow. After a few attempts and yelling at people for hitting the walls while we were recording we got it finished, we then satr down with Bill and planned when we could work for the next few days. Mike and Tara had to go home, but me and Matt stayed to edit the podcast and upload it to LibSyn or something. Here is a link:

Then i went home.
