BA meeting

We had a meeting with Sue and the BA's which andrew said he was going to turn up to but couldn't due to meetings but luckily we had shirley with us who backed us up with some comments. They pitched their branding posters and show reels that went with their posters, instead of working individually they had worked together in groups to create their pieces. I personally didn't like their work, the only work that was ok was hayleys, but it was a concept that has been done too many times (splitting images in half to create something new) the other ideas where medicine bottles ( please explain the digital media element their???) and super heroes (also nothing to do with our work). none of the work was finished enough or tidy enough to even think about using 2ish weeks before our show was due to start. The problem our class had was that if they wanted all these changes we weren't prepared to do another load of work to re-plan an entire show! which andrew agreed with. as far as we were concerned we had done way our brief had asked us to do and we were all happy with the way our show plans had come about.  Sue said we should vote on what idea we wanted to go with and this caused a lot of uproar with the BA's who all moaned our class would pick the work which we had produced and of course we would back up our own idea which was finished and was ready to go with compared to not even nearly half finished pieces. We took our invitations down to show the BA's what our work looked like and also andrew put our work up on the board for them to see. Sue had mentioned about our show reel but Dan mole wasn't it to say anything about it. 
When we started expelling our ideas the BA's were annoyed we had gone with printed invitations instead of sending an email around ( they cost under £30 to print) which was something stupid like £1.50 each so i did get a bit annoyed they were being so fickle. Then one of the BA's shouted at Gina (obviously annoyed she couldn't get what she wanted and took it out on gina for no reason) Another comment was one of the names had been written in a full name instead of a nick name which really is not a big deal and it is printed small so its not like it matters, we each have our own business cards expelling who we are so does it matter what is written on 1 poster! (aloud of fuss for nothing again being fickle) 
Sue had asked why we were so far advanced in all our of plans and we had said that andrew had given us the go ahead due to the show being so soon. which she didn't look to happy about but how are you meant to plan a show in 2 weeks? 

In the end the BA's decided ours would be the best idea to use due to it being finished and it wouldn't be any more work due to them still having to finish their own websites. There were a few moans and groans that they did all that work for nothing but as sue pointed out it was part of their brief so it had to be done regardless of what idea got picked.
