As a group we obviously kept in contact online so we could all feed back updated information especially so the producer could get back to us.
This is the message we received from the producer involving the record store contact we acquired.
'OK so basically the guy just rang me back (he's called Spike,he is the one responsible for the selling of the records on ebay). He said that he is a little bit reluctant because he doesn't like publicity that much, however he says what he is saying is that he is in principle agreeing to be involved with our film - there are a few issues, such as the records are being sold tomorrow so they're not physically going to be there to film (but as we were saying yesterday, the emptiness/lack of items anymore could be beneficial to our idea anyway) and the store is now taken over and the locks have been changed - he said we could arrange a location nearer the time. He said that he is interested and to meet with you all today to discuss some questions to ask him and get them emailed over, as well as an outline of exactly what we'd like to focus on as an angle - as in are we focusing on what it means for the Liverpool music scene, or the history of the store - just a clear idea that I can put into a treatment and send over to him tonight. He also said that for Record Store Day, they have held a few items aside to sell at a pop up record store at a cinema related place in Liverpool - and that if our film was made successfully they could show it there for us.'
This was positive for two reasons, one that the owner Spike is interested in our project and two that he could use our film further in his pop up record store, to promote himself and equally promote our film and us as filmmakers.
We then decided to definitely chose this as one of our two options for our pitch and began work on the presentation.
As a group we all liked the Banksy idea we previously had in a meeting, but like the idea of street art in general better and decided to go for a graffiti based street art angle instead of just focusing on solely Banksy. So we began looking for street art business or local artists that we could interview.
Oliver Roger Guy contacted a Liverpool based company called Zap Gravity who give lessons on how to create tags as well as general wall art using spray paint, but was also used as a legal safe canvas for 'professional' street artists.
The owner of Zap Gratify seem pretty positive about our project and seemed willing for us to film in the studio and be personally interviewed.
