Referring to this Experience

In the future, when I'll be doing work for other clients (in or out of college) I think I'll always look back at this whole task as a reference to how I should work. It's the first time most of us have worked to a brief that absolutely couldn't be altered by us. Unlike previous projects that we've done, we've always been able to squeeze something un-asked for into the product, this time round we came up with a proposal and it was locked - after that there was absolutely no changes unless required by the client (Simon Bates).

The points I'll always remember are:
- Stick to the brief
- Don't do anything unorthodox unless planned and practiced prior
- Don't submit unfinished work or ideas that you know still require adjustments - to somebody with less of an eye for film making, they may not notice and ask for more of what you've submitted (which may be technically/aesthetically flawed, therefor noticed by industry professionals)
- Rough cut always first
- Feedback MUST be taken into account and used
- The final cut MUST meet all expectations, and preferably surpass them (if you have the time to polish).
