[ Mike ] - Meeting With Elli Constantatou

Today we had a presentation from Elli Constantatou who as the PR Manager of Tourism at Essex County Council would be taking a very keen interest in this project and in the end would be the person who decides what groups will have their work published on her website. She went over the project and the kind of videos that were expected of the groups. We were given a sheet of paper that gave us some information about different events that went on in Essex that most of us were unaware about. She also gave us some facts and figures about Essex that surprised us as a group.

This got us thinking about the different kind of things in Essex that we could focus on. We came up with a few ideas but were unsure, which one would be best at enticing people to visit Essex. We were told by Elli that we could use the brief to get the main idea for the project but could interpret it to whatever extent we wanted. We were contemplating whether to look at a particular event in Essex, a town/city, an activity or a landmark.

The first ideas we came up were:

Event - Chelmsford V Festival
Place - Maldon Promenade
Landmark - Colchester Castle

We had come up with these 3 ideas after hearing what Elli had to say about the project. Our plan was to go away and meet up a week later and have a final idea sorted after discussing it with Jo Bowman on Friday in our lecture.
